    If you go to a decent size larger toy stores or stores that cater to
    aero modelling & model boats etc, they sell sets of bending springs
    covering a wide range of small sizes that modellers use to bend up
    pipes. I've seen them available in sets for small sizes from about
    1/4" or 6mm up as well as very small sizes from 1/16" or 1.6mm up so
    you do need to check the size range. Most I've seen are about 6 or 8
    inches long with one end wound at a larger size which makes it easy
    to just drill a wood block to hold them when not being used. 

    As I didn't know an online source, I did the search "bending
    springs" on the infamous eBay USA for & found for under $10: 

    5 sizes 6 - 16 mm
    5 sizes 1/4" to 5/8"
    5 sizes 1/16", 3/32", 1/8", 5/32", 3/16"

Regards,
Brian
