Hello,

Our records indicate that the company that made your pivot shoe is no longer in business. I believe our 15-177 could still work as a replacement, which uses the S152 coil springs. Just make sure that the dimensions below match up to yours.

We would also need to see your pivot bar uninstalled to confirm if it would be compatible with the new pivot shoe. If it has two prongs sticking out, you will need to file them off to fit the new shoe. Take a look and see what you think.

I checked my pivot shoes and spring covers and bushings they are all good. Can I change just the springs? If so what number springs to order and costs. It will be for 4 windows bottom sages only. They weighed 21.8 lbs. the pivot arms did have the lobes on the ends. I attached the pictures of them. Thanks Ray.

You may be able to replace just the coil springs as long as the originals match the 1/2" width of the S152. If you decide to give it a try, you would need to use one S152-5 and one S152-6 on each side to support the weight of your sash.
