Fuel Door spring

Where can I find (other than the local junk yard) a replacement for the fuel door hinge? Mine has rusted out and is hanging on for dear life. Yes, I know, GHETTO

Couple weeks ago someone pryed open my fuel door, for whatever reason, and broke the hinge. Had to get a whole new fuel door and the only place that carried it was Nissan Sooo, that ended up being around $150 for new door, paint on the door, and install. Obviously there's no way I was gonna drive around with no fuel door, but that felt like a total waste of $150

You can co to www.car-part.com and order one from a junk yard in the south east or south west. I could check on one locally if you want. We've got tons of rust free cars around here and I'm in junk yards all the time for work.
