KiCad has a pretty good Footprint editor, which works fairly similar like the rest of KiCad.
Getting to grips with it may take you one, or a few, hours, but after that you can draw footprints for components like this in 5 to 10 minutes if you have all the measurements available.

Drawing such footprints is probably faster than (trying to) find them on internet, and has a much higher success rate.

I never really understood why peope have such an aversion against drawing their own footprints.  :-//
It's easy. Really.
