I'm not sure I understand your measurements. Could you be more specific? Can you also show me pictures of the attachments on either end of your balance?

Please take a look at our S385-28 channel balance with a 2730 option and let us know if this could be a match for you.

If you will notice in the second picture. The shoe for the bottom is only about 7/8 to an inch wide. That's where my problem lies. Most balance that I've tried to shoot is over that dimension and binds the window. Thank you

The depth of your shoe looks to align with the 15-004 at a glance, but it's hard to tell just by eyeballing it. The smallest shoe we have in this style is our 15-005 at 1" (it comes with the S380-28). If 1" is still too deep, you can always shave it down a little.
