Pivot Bar

Question

I need replacement pivot bars for a silver line upper window sash. I don't know the window model number but the pivot bar part number is 1054. First I tried swisco part number 26-400. Didn't fit. The screw holes didn't line up. The I tried part number 26-369. The holes lined up but the flare was too wide. Next I tried part number 26-412. I thought this was the winner. Same length as the original, same flares, and the holes line up. The problem is the holes are too big. The screws go right threw and can't connect to the pivot bar. So, the part I need is the same as 26-412 but with smaller screw holes.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for posting. Without seeing your original pivot bar I can't say what you actually need. That said, if the 26-412 is a dead ringer, then it sounds like the right option. Now, this problem comes up now and then with replacement pivot bars. Just using different screws should do the trick. A #8 x 1/2" screw like our 33-022 should work just fine with the 26-412. If this is by chance the size of the old fasteners in your window though, let me know, and some pictures of the pivot bar would be helpful as well.
