Never seen a shorter spring for the center stand. What usually happens is the stand bolts have gotten loose or the brackets are worn out and are allowing play in the stand.

It's a Lambretta and will shake its self apart unless you use locking hardware.

Make sure the 'J' brackets haven't had the re-inforcing plates inserted as spacers, the brackets should be bolted directly to the frame. Using the plates as spacers is a dodge sometimes used when aftermarket stands sit too upright but then make the spring too short.
