Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find another source for the internal spring/retainers as a set. Tallon might be the only game in town for those if you can't get to a junkyard.
I know you found a source for the main spring, but it's sooo much easier to go to a junkyard. It's only 8 nuts to remove the unit from an Astrovan. 2 from MC to HB, 4 from HB bracket to firewall, 2 PS lines and then pop the pedal linkage off. You also get a nice C-clip to prevent the large mounting nut from ever coming completely off.
Further, the bracket for the Astrovan is flat (not counter-sunk), which makes is much easier to remove the mounting nut.
Tallon does have the best price I could find on a 90 degree rotation adapter and offers the custom length pushrod required when adding that thickness between the MC and HB. Their basic mounting bracket is only $5 more than the piece I got on eBay.
Not discounting them as a source, but I guess you need to know what you want and just order it.
