Hello,

The die-cast pivot bars shown in your photos are, unfortunately, no longer available. We suggest the 26-241 as a replacement. As for your pivot shoe, see the 15-105

We can supply your balances but they would need to be custom-made using the S770-29 channel balance and 2850 strength option with the 62-105 hook attached to the end of the pulley. We'll just need to confirm the number of balances that you need, with the minimum being two, to send you an order link and price quote. 

You can also lubricate the window tracks with silicone spray to create less friction. Just make sure that the window jamb is relatively clean to prevent buildup. Thank you!
