I'm working on restoring my Hook pin, and I just noticed a coil bracket was broken. The coil bracket goes on the Power Scoop Kick Big (515-5468-00).

The bracket I need is 515-5351-00. Here's what' I've turned up:

What I need but not in stock -

Available overseas but I've never heard of this store -
http://www.pinball.center/en/shop/pinball-parts/flipper-components/miscellaneous/2314/coil-stop-assembly-515-5351-00

Might work? -

Does anyone think the "might work" option is a good one? If not, has anyone found Pinball Center to be legit? Ideas?

Thanks for any help!!

Would probably work... Shoot me some measurements, and there is a 75% chance I can send you one of these brackets. I have parted out a few DE playfields over the years, and do know I have some similar brackets in my stash. If I have something you can use, just send me your snail mail and I will shoot one your way.

They are legit. Formerly pinballcenter.eu

Your might work option likely will not be able to fit the coil as on the original bracket. If you note on the bottom that the original bracket has a rectangular base while your "might work" option is square.

It appears the original bracket has been replaced by #515-6527-00 as noted in a Pinside posting.
This part is available from Marco.

Wow, that's super helpful - thanks everyone! I can't check on the measurements until tonight, but I'll hit you guys up to see if it lines up. Thanks again!

I had the same bracket broken on a Hook I restored a couple of weeks ago. I ended up using a Williams slingshot kicker "Z" bracket in place of the original Data East bracket. Only difference was the color: silver instead of gold.

I used Williams # A-17808 bracket.

It was a perfect fit.
