Certainteed Pivot Bar

I have older windows that have the discontinued part #532011 for a pivot bar. It looks like these have now been replaced by a newer version. Do I need to buy the new pivot bars and also the new pivot shoe? Or can I just replace the old pivot bar with the newer one you have listed your website? Please let me know. Thanks.

I'm not seeing any results for that number on our site. Can you show me this pivot bar so that we can look into a replacement?

look at your part #26-175 Certainteed Pivot bar. That bar replaces the old discontinued Certaineed pivot bar (532011) or LH-ISLO/RH-ISLO (right and left). My question is I saw a post where you can use the new one, but may need to grind it to fit, so if I buy them, do I need to buy the new part it connects to in the window track?

Thanks for clarifying. Our 26-175 should work with your old pivot shoes, yes. I think the grinding only comes into play in certain uncommon circumstances. The rule of thumb is, as long as the center metal cam of your old shoe is metal, then it will be fine.
