Is this torsion spring custom made?

I'm designing a rf test fixture required a torsion spring to open the test socket. I couldn't find any commercial torsion spring like the one sketched below (regular torsion spring with leg bent toward the opposite end of the spring) even though in the test & meas industry, there is at least one spring like this one per spring loaded lid test socket. Are they custom-designed or do you know who make this type spring so I can buy from them?

I know it's a terrible sketch [smile]

Thanks

Agreed, these would be custom made.
 
Thanks guys. I would hope that with millions of spring loaded test sockets out there, there would be a ready made off-the shell springs like that to be available.
