Pivot Lock (Shoe) for Carefree brand vinyl windows

I am looking to purchase replacement pivot locks for several Carefree brand vinyl windows. Hopefully the pictures we help to identify the part. This particular one is somewhat damaged but is the best of the bunch. Bottom of window inserts into the bottom of the pivot lock, while the spiral balance attaches to the top. The size is as follows:
Height - 2", Width - 15/16", Depth - 3/8"

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks for posting. Can you confirm your dimensions? You say your depth is 3/8", but that is on the skinny side. Yours seems a little thicker. Can you double check for me?

Yes, it is confirmed 3/8" or just shy of 1 cm. I have attached a picture. It is bend some but it can't be much bigger than that size. Thanks so much for the help!

Thanks again for your patience. I'm afraid this Carefree pivot shoe has been discontinued and is no longer available. However, not all hope is lost! We have a possible solution you could consider, though I cannot guarantee it will work. You might be able to replace your pivot shoe and pivot bar with our 15-134 and 26-297, respectively. What do you think?

Dear "A home owner from Boulder, Colorado" Any luck fixing yours? Did the 15-134 work? .

Kind regards,
