Thanks f or your patience during this busy season, Paulette. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find an exact match for this coil balance system. Would it be possible to get additional information? I'd like to know how thick and wide the pivot shoe is, for instance. I will also need the thickness of the coil spring itself. My thinking is that since I can't find an exact match, maybe I can find something that will at least work the same way. I have to know it'll fit, though, so that's our first step.

Thanks for getting back to us with this information. From your photos, we believe you can use the 15-228 pivot shoe and a S160-5 coil spring. These products are different compared to your originals but we think they will still work.

You can see our return policy here.

I'm afraid we don't sell this kind of balance setup as one kit. These parts aren't generally used together, only in special circumstances like yours, so we can only provide them separately. If you aren't able to reuse your cover, you can consider our 15-150D.

To replace the broken nylon coil spring cover, you can use our 15-150; with that you would hook the bottom coil spring to the top opening on the 15-228 pivot shoe, similar to your old setup. The top coil spring will hook on the lower coil spring in the square cut out hole. The 15-150D double support just holds the coil springs in place, it isn't a case like your old coil spring housing.
