You have a very easy to use web site, but I just can't figure out which channel balances to order. I need 34"L, 1/2"W full assemblies that have the ends to match the photos I've attached.

Good morning, and thanks for posting. Looks like your top attachment is winged, while your bottom is not. Since this doesn't match any of our standard Series, your balance will have to be specially made.

Before I can work on that, though, I'll need to figure out what that bottom shoe is. Check out our 15-001 and 15-002 and tell me which is a closer match.

I think it should be the 15-095, as it appears to be 1 5/16" in the attached photo.

I'll measure the top attachment when I get home tonight. Please quote me a price based on these attachments. Thanks

I wouldn't go with the 15-095, since it's also 5/8" wide. Your shoe is the same width as the balance, which should just be 1/2".

I'm surprised neither of the above shoes are a match. They are the most common shoes for this kind of balance. You could possibly use our 15-003, which is 1-3/16" in depth. Let us know if you think that could work for you.
