Kohltech double hung Pivot shoe - 2009

Question

I have some pictures and Kohltech product information - see attached. The windows are tilt in but I do not see how this shoe allows removal of the sash. You may want to recommend a different shoe.

Teh tab on the pivot shoe broke off. Can you ecommend a replacement? I am agreeable to replace the right and left pivot shoe if you don not have an exact match.

The track size is 1 5/16" wide (most likely 1 1/4" as it is very difficult to measure accurately) and 5/8" deep. It looks like the tab on the spring is a round hole and not a "T" tab.

This is a very peculiar pivot shoe. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it. Can you confirm its width and thickness? You'll want to remove it first before you measure, you won't get an accurate measurement as long as it's in the window. Can you also tell me the thickness of the spring?

In the meantime, I'll send this to my colleague Paul. He knows a lot more about coil balances than I do and he may have a few ideas.
