track stop or spring

Question

I have a 36" bi-fold door replacement track which I just ordered from Swisco and installed. The door opening is about 38" wide so it was installed centered with 1" gap on each end. As you can see from the photos, I have a spring stopper which technically isn't needed (i.e. it wasn't there before). I am concerned it will eventually bend or gradually create a small hole in the side of the frame.

Do you have sell a shorter spring that I can use?

Also, do you have any end cap for the track?

Please advise since the only other idea is to remove the spring.

The shortest spring we have is the 23-131 that is 1-1/4", but we do have a rubber bumper that might be even better, the 10-112. While it's typically used with shower doors I certainly think it might work for this application as well. Please review and let us know your thoughts.
