Broken pivot lock

Question

This is the unbroken component. Only the Zinc piece is broken. Can that alone be replaced or do I replace the entire piece? This is attached to 2 coil spring balances.

Please note that the end of the ruler is about 1/16". Appears to be 1 1/4" tall, 1/2" wide and 1/2" deep/thick

Thanks for posting. I am afraid that metal cam is not sold separately; when it breaks, the whole pivot shoe should be replaced. Our 15-177 should do the trick. Take a look and let me know if you have questions.
