OK George, I'll take the credit. After taking mine apart a few years ago to replace the spring, this looked like the sensible thing to do. I got the springs at ACE Hardware. I forgot what the numbers were but they have several to choose from.

I saw those pics on the earlier post , but they do not show where the mousetrap spring is located. I could see the other 2 springs
for the catch. An underside view,(back of the handle) would be what I am looking for, or maybe just a word description.\
thanks guys

No need for the mousetrap spring if this solution is used. (It replaces the mousetrap spring.)
The location of the mousetrap spring (see item 43 in the following illustration), and a discussion regarding how to locate/purchase said springs:
