Small 2.5 inch Spring in hood catch mechanism broke

A small 2.1/4 inch spring in hood catch mechanism broke and the hood wouldn’t lock down while it was broken. I got another spring in but it is a poor fit and I am assuming if it comes lose the hood will come lose and possibly up. Anyone else have this happen if so where did they get a replacement spring? Is this a standard Subaru Spring?

Thank you

if you can't source a factory replacement, your local harware store should have a selection of springs that will do the trick.
