Hey Ray. I am sure we can help, but first, can you confirm the length of the metal channel, not including the end nylon attachments? Also is there any stamp on the metal channel you can show us? We should be able to narrow it all down.

Hi Bob - Not including the nylon attachments, it measures 31".
It is stamped: 3020 , BSI , PJ (pic attached)
Thank you for your help and please let me know if I can help with any other info.

Thank you for getting back to me. Your balance looks like a match for the S380-31, S385-31, or S378-31. The important difference is the depth of the bottom shoe, so you'll have to measure as shown below to determine the best match. See the diagram below.

For a stamp option choose 3020.

Comparison of the S378, S380 and S385 balance shoes.
