Could we have you send us some photos of our balance out of the window? This will help us get a better visual on the balance you're describing.

Thank you! TI'm afraid I can't make out the length of the metal channel from these photos. I agree that the 19-002 and 15-002 match, but the length is a concern.

Basically, a stamp of 2740 indicates a metal channel length of 28". If yours is indeed 27.5", then it will have to be a special order. Since special order balances cannot be returned for a refund then I would definitely triple check juuuuust to be sure.

In the meantime, I'll email you an order link and price quote right now for 4 of these balances. Let me know if you have any questions, or if the length of the metal channel differs in any way. I'm happy to make any changes as necessary.

Thanks. I definetly can confrim the length of the metal channel is 27.5". Will this link also include the tops, top sash guide, shoe on the 4 channels?

This custom balance will include the top and bottom nylon fittings attached and will be ready to install out of the box. It does not include the 18-009 top sash guide, which is sold separately.
