The extractor spring on my old 303 British Lee Enfield MK1 broke on me, Does anyone have a spare lying about they do not need?
Can one be formed a piece of spring wire?

If you havn't already, look at Wolf springs for replacement.

$20 at Liberty tree collectors. https://www.libertytreecollectors.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=544&idcategory=62 They have them for the #4 also and I got one a while ago for a spare for my #5. Back in the 80's when it took longer to receive parts I used a slice of a paper binder clip most of one summer in a #4. Kept the binder clip spring in there well after receiving the replacement spring as it was working fine even though it wasn't as strong.

I'm doing repairs on a couple and was looking for cosmoline removal tips that won't damage the stock when I found this. If you don't have one yet I've got an extra spring I could send.

Thanks for your kind offer, finally bought one from Wolf
