26-422 is similar but not exact

These look very close to what i need EXCEPT distance between hole centers.  
My original ones measure 2-7/8ths long...5/16ths wide...3/16ths thick and bolt hole centers are 3/4...NOT 1".   is there a different part, or i need to drill another hole to make these work??

Hey there. Do at least one of the holes align with the ones used on your own pivot bar? If so, the 26-422 will work just fine. You only need to use one mounting hole for a pivot bar to do its job.

As seen in picture..the pivot bar is basically identical to your "26-422"   with exception of hole placement.     From left end to the nub that sticks up i have 5/16ths distance.

To clarify my original response, the distance between the two holes doesn't really matter. What's more important is the distance between the hole centers and the front tip of the pivot bar. 

Pivot bars don't need two screws to install, 1 screw is sufficient. The second hole is a redundancy to allow more flexibility, so it can install in a greater number of window types. These are all generic parts for the most part, so they're designed that way on purpose. 

As long as one hole matches the installation hole you used, you'll be fine. In your case that would presumably be the front hole, since that's where the crack is. As long as that's 1-5/16" from the front tip, measured from the center of the hole, this'll work fine.
