Identifying a replacement pivot shoe

Question

This pivot shoe was damaged within the tract, so I removed it and need a replacement piece. Looking at the window this shoe is from the right side. The shoe was attached to a coiling piece of sheet metal that I needed to unscrew from within the tract. Thank you for your help! On the shoe itself is: PAT5,353,548. The window has Trayco on it. I dont need an exact part match, just one that will appropriately replace the damaged one.

Hello,

Your balance shoe resembles the 15-087 housing pivot shown below, which would use the S180 coil springs, 15-086 tandem housing, and 16-024 or 16-031 mounting bracket. If the coils have a 5 and 6 stamp on each side, you would need the S180-5 and S180-6 to replace them. Take a look and let us know if you need anything else. Thank you!
