You can buy just the tail wheel on Matco, and they don't sell leaf spring.

OK i missed that thanks
Do you know if it is 1,25" or 1,5" wide ?
Just installed the new factory one i decided to install the 2 long leaf and the upper small one too. Seems to be OK at taxiing. For landing don't know weather too bad foggy
And as the leaf angle is bigger that my original one i see a little bit more front of me so.
For those of you using the dual spring setup. One day when you are bored, take the short top leaf spring and drill a hole the same as in the longer leaf for mounting the tail wheel bracket . That way when you break the longer leaf at some desolate strip, you can remount the tailwheel bracket and make it home on only the short leaf. (speaking from experience....)

Oh @#*#*, I hate that when it happens.
Hope you get it repaired soon so you can get back in the air. Good thing it happened after landing and some roll out rather than have it break immediately on landing and then half to deal with higher speeds and even more damage.
