Dual glazed aluminum horizontal sliding window rollers

These roller are from Superior Aluminum Window products that used to be manufactured in the Los Angeles area. These windows were installed in the 90's.

The brass wheels are 9/16" diameter, the part is 2-1/8" long and looking at the edge of the wheel the entire part is 1/4" wide. What would you suggest as a replacement part.

We did carry this roller at one time, but unfortunately it was discontinued a few years ago. Our stock ran out only a short time ago, so you just missed it.

We don't have a verified alternative, either. One possibility is our 87-173, but this is mostly an educated guess. I've never personally tried using it to replace the 87-196 and can't tell you for sure if it's worth trying. It is, however, our only possible option.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. This just isn't something we can supply anymore.
