if you have room to place 4-8 screws into it to keep the spring inline it may work

4 inside and four on the outside, spring seats between the screws

Screws ?
Spring X

or 4 screws in the inside if there lack of space

last if anything tie straps to hold the spring in place two should do it

cut four holes; two outside and two on the inside of the spring, so they go over the first loop of the spring and tie off on the outside, one on each side should do it.
