Pivot Shoe ID

I have been replacing channel balances with you Swisco products and that has been working out well. I have found a couple of pivot shoes broken and will habe to replace. The outside dimensions are 1.25"W x 2.25"H x 0.50" thick. The blue pivot is 1/2" in diameter and the slot goes to the edge as you can see in the picture. I also included a picture of the metal tab that goes into the blue pivot. I'm looking at your 15-046 as the closest which would require that I modify the little "ears" sticking out on the window. Unless there is a better solution???

Hello,

Your pivot shoe and cam actually remind me of the 15-219 but keep in mind that it measures 17-32" thick as shown below. I would recommend double-checking your measurement to see if it might be a hair over 1/2". If so, this could be a good replacement option.

Dimensions for 15-219

If you need new pivot bars as well, I would recommend removing yours from the sash frame to compare to the 26-396. Thanks for posting!

Thanks. I will double check the thickness. What is the diameter of the metal part that rotates. Want to make sure that ears on my pivot bars will fit inside. Also looks like it sticks out a bit. Can you tell me how much?
Thanks

Sure, the cam opening of the 15-219 measures about 1/2" wide and projects 1/8".

T-nose Pivot Bar, 3-1/8"
