Thanks for posting! I recognize this bracket. Unfortunately, it is no longer available. With that in mind, we have two ways of going about this.
The first method requires a bit of handy work but may be preferable. You would need a Series 900 spiral balance and our 62-001 rivet. You would drill out the rivet on your existing bracket and then re-rivet it on to the new balance. The other method may be a bit simpler. You would just need a Series 400 spiral balance and a new 17-031 bracket, which would then be screwed on to the bottom of the window sash. Would you have enough room to do that, though? Either way, since the length of your balance tube ends on the 1/2", your balance may have to be custom made. Can you first confirm that your balance is, indeed, that length? Then, let me know which route you'd like to take. |

We actually don't have a guide on these specific brackets, but you might want to look at our guide on how to install non-tilt spiral balances. The principle should be the same.

Good thinking on the Series 307 balance. I think that was probably the best way to go, now that I think about it. My only concern is that the bottom extension of shoe might extended past the bottom of the sash and prevent the window from closing. On the 1/2" extended balances, I would go up to next size up.
