Drawing a flat spring

I have a sewing machine cabinet that is missing a stop spring on its tip out drawer. The missing spring was made of spring steel and I was hoping to make a 3d replacement.

There’s no great strain on this part, a 90 degree bend on one end to stop it tilting beyond 45 degrees. and a bend to provide some friction against the frame to keep it from opening/closing too easily.

If I could draw it I could play around with the dimensions to get a good fit.

Draw it from the side. Push pull. Then clip those little angles off.

Thanks, I think I got it.
