Thanks for reaching out to us! I'm afraid I don't know what your question is. It sounds like you found all the parts you needed. Was there anything specifically you wanted to know about them before you placed an order?

Tom,

Thanks for reviewing. I just wanted to make sure the items I selected were accurate.

Can you tell me what size/length screws are typically used with the balance plug and the pivot bars?

Thanks

Sure, you want to use a #8 screw for both. The 33-016 is compatible in each case, but keep in mind that the length may need to be different for the pivot bar. I recommend reusing the old screws to be safe.

Also note that you may need to drill new holes for the 26-366 to be compatible with the new balance. The tip on the new style is a little shorter than the original.

Thank you for your assistance. Based on research I also came to the same conclusion that the pivot bars may need new holes drilled.
