Anyways I went to Lowes and picked up a long piece of pretty stiff spring...(you will want to get the stiffer of the springs) for like 2 bucks and then I held the spring up to where the broken one had went and cut the new spring to fit each whole and then bent the ends of the spring to make the hooks to fit into the wholes and it was as good as new!
I did this about a year and a half ago and have so far had no issues with the replacement spring.

thanks for the tip, I'll add it to my list of to-do's!
