Balance assembly
Thanks for this information. It's a great start, but I still need a bit more before I make a recommendation. Specifically, can you show me a picture of the pivot shoe your springs connect to?
See photos. If you need me to remove the pivot shoe from the channel, let me know
Thank you, that's a big help. Your pivot shoe here is a match for our 15-177, which is designed to work with the Series 152 spring. The problem is that this spring is 1/2" thick, not 3/8". You may want to double check that measurement to be safe.
As for removal, the video below may help.
The coil spring is definitely 3/8" wide. The 1/2" size will not fit the channels.
That is odd. I'm not aware of any coil in this style but with a 3/8" thickness. Are there any numbers or letters stamped on the end of the spring? If so, can you tell me what they are, or show me a picture? That may offer a clue.
Like Tom said, we have the 15-177 pivot shoe, but those 3/8" coil springs aren't something we can provide. We only have those in 1/2".
We can still help, but you'll need a new style balance system. I recommend considering our 15-191 pivot shoe along with two S165-3 and one S165-4 coil spring. I also recommend the 15-205 coil spring support. You will also need to replace the pivot bar with something like the 26-454.
Please review these parts and let us know if you had any questions.
That's correct. That's the size you need, which is why I recommended them. But in order to use them, you have to get a new style shoe, which is why I recommended the 15-191 pivot shoe as well.
