Thank you for your correspondence. Before you order, we would like to see the complete balance showing the nylon ends to determine the series you need. Normally a spring weight 14 5 has a 15" metal channel length and an 18 5 has a 19" metal channel length. So it's important to check if you have custom balances. Many thanks. |

Thank you for this information. As I suspected, these are custom balances due to their unique length and configuration. Could you confirm the length of the balances one last time? For how we make up these balances, the balance stamped 14-5 would be 14-5/8" long, not including the attachments; while the balance stamped 18-2 would measure 18-5/8". If those are your measurements, then you should be good to go. My colleague Bob is sending you an email with custom links to order a pair of each of these balances. If you have any other questions or concerns, let me know here in the discussion thread. Many thanks. |

Hmm, unfortunately this certainly could be an issue. I honestly have not seen balances made to these sizes. The manufacturer of these particular balances does not make them this way; they come only in X-5/8" increments. If you're sure these measurements are right, then the only conclusion we can come to is that someone altered the sizes of your balances, for reasons I can't begin to guess. You can try to use our balances still if you want, but I'm afraid I can't predict any complications you may experience. I am sorry for this inconvenience. |
