Coil Balance replacement part

One of my coil balances broke and I need a replacement.
Dimensions: 1/2" wide, 3/8" tab, at least 24" long.
It is marked with an "8" at the end.
I think I need a 160 but don't know whether to order a 7.5 or 9#.
Thank you.

Hello!

Can you upload some photos of your pivot shoe? If we can identify the pivot shoe, that will tell us the coils and accessories that you'll need.

There are no manufacturer's markings that I can see. Photos attached. Thanks.

Thank you for the additional photos! This is a huge help. We don't carry this exact pivot shoe but our 15-228, which uses the 1/2" Series 160 coil springs, is similar in design to what you show here. I can't promise they will work but take a look at the specifications and see what you think. The Series 160 doesn't have an 8 pound weight option so you'll have to divide the sash weight by the total number of coil springs in the window to determine the appropriate weight calibration.
