Help with sizing.

I need to replace a 1/2" wide by 26" long channel balance. Stamp on the metal is 2530. The issue for me is the current shoe is 1 1/16". Should I size up to 1 3/32" or go light with the 1" shoe. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for posting. Sometimes these nylon shoes wear down from age. If the current depth is still greater than 1", then it was probably originally 1-3/32". Therefore, the S385-26, stamped 2530, would be the best choice. Let me know if you have any other questions.
