I do not know the weight of the window. The the balances are printed with 86 17-4 GA5 CMC 1.
I have replaced others but there are 2 odd ball windows with these balancers that I want to replace.
Thank you, Brian

Hi there Brian.
We can help with this, but it will have to be a custom order due to the configuration. Your balance has a special "washer" that connects the spring and pulley mechanism, which our stock balances lack.
Can you measure the bottom shoe as shown below and write out what you get? Can you also double-check the length of the metal channel? It should be 18" long.

Hello Emily,
The wing dimensions you ask for is 1in. Maybe 1-1/16 inch. And the lenth of the metal chanel is 18 inchs. I included 4 more pictures to help. Thank you very much.

Thank you kindly, Brian!
Our best options are a balance with 1" or 1.088" deep shoes. If you can tell me which size you'd like to go with, along with the quantity of balances you'd like to order, I can send over a purchase link.
