FPR fix

I did it again.
After doing the BB shim i noticed my Fuel pressure was 90 psi up from 58.
I knew something was wrong. Somehow i managed to break that spring.
What are my options. Can i buy just that spring?
Maybe i can use one half and keep adding BBs until i get the pressure i want.

90psi? ...didn't think the pump pushed fuel to that pressure.

That's what the guage says, same one that said 58 psi right before i tried to shim it.
I was not expecting that much pressure either.
