Thanks for posting. This looks like a 15-087 Pivot Shoe, which uses Series 180 Coil Balances. The mounting bracket is the 16-024. The diagram below shows how all these parts install.

As far as how many coils per side you need, typically extra coils in this system are housed within 15-086 Tandem Blocks that stack atop the 15-087 shoe. I think the best thing to do here is to give me the exact weight of the window sash. Give me that exact weight, and I can tell you the coils you need.

Great, thanks! So for a 12 pound sash, you only need one 6 pound spring on each side. With that in mind, I'd suggest our S180-6 and 15-087 carrier. The tandem carrier would not be required.
