Thanks for reaching out to us. I'm afraid you won't be able to replace just the plastic tube of your balance. That's not just a cover, in your case, it's physically attached to the balance itself. You would need an all new balance. That would be unfortunate if the balances are still functioning properly. There are some hardware stores that sell covers of a sort that snap over the opening in the track. These can be tough to track down, though, since they're often made to the specific size of the track. We unfortunately aren't able to provide them, but if you can find one that fits in your track then it would be the ideal solution to keep using the same hardware without sacrificing appearance. Otherwise, you would need new balances entirely. I would recommend either our Series 600 or Series 900, depending on the diameter of the tube in question (5/8" or 3/8", respectively). You'll note that our balances use metal tubes; this is a conscious change in design from your older model to avoid the yellowing and cracking that comes with using nylon tubes. You also mention a plug; I'm not sure what that may be, but I think I spy it in your second photo. Could our 26-139 be what you're looking for? |
