Hello! See our 15-159 pivot shoe. This appears very similar to your own. What do you think?

The goal of is to put the balance cord through that hole and tie a knot in the end of the cord to secure it in place. First, you need to take the pressure off the cord. What I do is to pull the cord from the balance with a set of pliers (like our 75-055). With the cord pulled from the balance you need to clamp it at the base of the balance with a type of clamp or locking pliers (like our 75-054). Now, with the pressure off of the cord, you fish it through the hole of the 15-159 and tie a knot in the end to secure it. If you already have a knot in the end of the cord, you will need to untie the knot or cut it off. With the cord tied in a knot grab hold of the cord with the pliers and remove the clamp, then slowly allow the cord to be pulled back into the balance. Be very careful! This hardware is under a lot of pressure from the springs and you don't want it to snap back, which could damage the balance or even hurt you. Safety always comes first!
