Hello! I agree, our S795-36 looks like a good match for the old balance, along with the 15-194 (sold separately). The shoe just clips on and off so the 15-194 is easy enough to swap out. Just note that this balance installs at the top using a screw tab, not a hook. I cannot tell from your photos if yours works the same way so make sure to make note of that before you place an order.

As for the pivot bar, we don't sell the type you show here. I would say that our best match is the 26-021, which is our usual go-to for the 15-194 shoe. It doesn't have the same offset as the original but that shouldn't matter that much. I'm more concerned about hole placement. Review our specs to be sure that those match up.

Lastly, for the lock and keeper, can you please tell me the distance between the installation holes, center-to-center? I can't really tell that from just a photo of a tape measure, unfortunately. We will need written dimensions.

Like I mentioned before, the offset shouldn't matter much. At this stage the most important detail to consider is hole placement.

The bad news is that we don't sell a pivot bar with your exact hole placement measurements. I would triple check those just to be safe. Make sure to only measure from the center of each hole, not their edges.

Sure, sorry for overlooking those dimensions before. For the lock, our 90-161 has the same hole placement with a 2-1/16" spacing and a 7/16" offset. Look it over and see what you think.

As for the pivot bar, we just don't have anything with this design. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks you for your assistance and prompt reply.

For some reason I am not being notified when you send a message, went a head and placed the order.
