Champion window pivot bar

Question

I bought a home and have what I believe are champion windows . I found 3 windows and 3 half windows where all the pins were bent and broken at the first screw hole .
I tried to straighten the pins and reinstall the broken peice into the spring loaded horse shoe slider (possibly part number series 152) but I could not get both sides to click in. The pin part number 26 226 looks to be the same pin but I would like to hear your thoughts since you are the experts .

Thanks for reaching out to us! This pivot bar does appear to be a match for the 26-226 Pivot Bar. To determine if this is the right fit, you'll need to compare the dimensions shown on the website.

The Series 152 is the coil balance spring. If this what you have in the window, it is likely the shoe you have is the 15-177 (or similar to it). This shoe does use the 26-226.

If you are unsure that this is the shoe you have, I'll need to see a photo of the existing hardware to confirm.
