Need to Replace This Pivot Bar

Question

It's the pivot bar from the bottom sash of a double-pane, tiltable vinyl window. It has no numbers or other markings whatsoever. It looks very close, but not identical, to the one you list as 26-129. My biggest worry about 26-129 is that it's 3/8" thick, whereas this one is only 1/4".

If you look closely at the left end in the attached pic, you can see the end part that fits into the shoe is snapped off. This has happened on both sides, so if I can find this part I'll need two.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks for posting. I agree, the 26-129 appears to be our best match. Now, as to whether it can work, I can't be sure. First, I just wanted to clarify that the thickness of this pivot bar is 7/32", which is closer to your 1/4".

The 3/8" thickness you mentioned is actually the size of the pin at the end, which goes into the pivot shoe.

If there is anything preventing our 26-129 from working for you, it's this. Yours appears to have a "T" shaped pin. Could you show me a picture of the pivot shoe which engages with your pivot bar? That may help us determine whether our 26-129 can work.
