I have three windows that have damage to one or both of their channel balances or plastic end attachments and they need to be replaced. I will send in three different requests as to not get the pictures mixed up. Here is the first set of pictures for the biggest window. The channel balance says 2840

Thanks for posting. Is the metal channel, not including the fittings on either end, 29" long? If so I believe this is a S395-29. For a stamp option choose 2840.

Yes 29" without the plastic attachments. There is no way to buy the plastic attachments without the metal channel balance is there? A couple of the channel balances are fine, just the plastic is busted.

You sure could. The Series 395 uses the 19-005 Top and 15-001 Bottom fittings. The video below shows how to replace fittings on a metal channel. It's certainly doable if you're game to do some drilling and riveting. Take a look and see what you think. If you're uncertain, you can always just go with a new balance instead.
