I'm about to order the 15-193 and 19-038 fittings/shoes for my b 3040 channel balance. I noticed the tension spring upper attachment 'rivet' is severely bent and surely ready to give way (see the photo). Can you tell me what rivet to use as a replacement? Would the 62-005 shoe rivet be strong enough in this application? Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes, the 62-005 rivet would definitely be a great piece for this hardware application. I hope this has answered your question. Get back to us if any other questions come up.
