I Need A Battery Spring/Plate For A Device.

I have a portable electronic navigation system - a Pilot III from Garmin- which
I use to find my way around the counties in the state where I work. It operates
via batteries or by pluging it into the cigarette lighter.

While using the navigation system, the batteries exploded. As I removed the
batteries from the battery compartment, I accidently broke off the 1
inch-by-half inch metal plate -with half-inch springs on it- attached to the
edge of the battery compartment. I lost that part and and I need it replaced.

I have been to Radio Shack, an auto parts accesory store, and a hardware store
and none of them have that piece.

Does anyone know how and where I can get this simple piece that has been
getting considerbly more difficult to obtain than I had anticipated? Your help
would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my message. Would you
know where I could get any dual coil battery contacts?

Where would you normally take the thing for repair anyway? Just ask
them to order one for you.

Good Luck!
