The length,(the best I can tell from measurement of the broken spiral balance)I need to replace is 28.5" Should I order a 28" or a 29" spiral length from Swisco? We look forward to your speedy reply.

Are you definitely just measuring the metal tube (sometimes plastic)? Do not include the colored tip or the internal spiral spring in your measurement.

The length of the assembly, LESS the colored tip and the internal spiral spring, is 27 3/4".

Make sure you're only measuring the tube portion of the balance before you determine what length you will need. For example, I have added an image below that shows the proper measurement of a 10" spiral balance.
