To the best of my knowledge the spring never was part of that kit - even in the original Bendix package. Again, neither was the plunger/piston. However, such additional parts were available, separately, from dealers and parts stores alike (back in the day).

It seems to me that the minor kit was intentded for replacing the components that were most likely to wear out and leak (and those sacrificed in getting at them). Again, I doubt if Bendix or any of the automakers anticipated their vehicles being in use half a century later, and the damage caused by moisture entering the hydraulic system occurs over a long period of time.
