Double hung windows with broken side pieces

My house was built in 2003. I believe the windows were built in Nebraska and shipped to the building site in Colorado. The windows appear to be very nice heavy windows, wood with metal cladding. The piece I am looking for is attached to both sides of the window and it goes into a spring to keep the window from staying in place when the window is opened.

Thank you!

Hi there, thanks for writing in. It looks like you are in need of some new pivot bars. Take a look at our 26-150. Could these work for you?

I'm not sure that this would work. It is similar for the piece I broke. I just found out that Weather Shield built the windows I have. I talked to them but they no longer make this part and the window. They directed me to a couple websites but none of them have this part any longer. I'm not sure that yours will work with only one screw hole. Below is the original part from Weather Shield. Please let me know if you can find the Weather Shield part. Thank you!

I'm afraid I wasn't able to find an exact replacement for this part. Our 26-150 is our closest match. Weather Shield changes their parts quite frequently so they're fairly difficult to come by. I apologize for the inconvenience.
