Hello,

Unfortunately, Simonton discontinued your original pivot bar but it was replaced by the 26-336. With that being said, it may take some handiwork such as grinding down the "collar" on the front tip so that it's a little more flat like your original part. I've found this to be a reasonable solution in most cases but it's not ideal. It's also important to note that any product altered in this way can no longer be returned for a refund. Review the specifications below and see what you think. Thanks for posting!
