This shoe measures 2 and maybe a 16th" by 1 and 3/16 or 1/4" by 9/16-5/8" thick. Spiral tilt vinyl windows probably from the mid 1980's.... What are your recommendations for replacement part? Thank you! Herb M.

Thanks for posting. This looks an old Unique brand pivot shoe that was discontinued. Based on your dimensions, we think the 15-188 should work as a substitute. Please compare. Also, you might want to get a 75-006 Spiral Attachment tool, so you can reattach the spiral rod to the new shoe. Take a look and see what you think.
