The spring shaft is bent and this plastic end piece is cracked.  I think with a little heat and carefully applied pressure I could straighten the shaft but any ideas where I can find this piece?

I have springs and replacement end caps.

Remove spring before applying heat to shaft, Springs do not like heat ! Frank

And be very careful removing the spring, They don't particularly like fingers either and will remove them for you.

I would like to thank Bill (Rangerrick) for the spring for my awning and all the help after the fact!
