Question
At the top of a weight is a small hook eye where the chain hooks to it, this piece broke where could i buy this part or i have to buy the whole weight shell?
Please need your advice on this one.
Thank for your help.
Luis.
You can purchase the top hook only. There are two types; open hook or and closed loop end. Usually the hook has a female thread that screws onto a rod. Others have a male thread that screws into the weight.
Here is a link to a webpage where you can see them. http://www.clock-parts.com/catalogmain2.asp?GroupID=280%26Level=4%26ProdID=12188
I think this company has a $15.00 minimum but let me know if you see what you are looking for there and I will find a way to get them for you without you having to pay that minimum charge.
