Each shoe you picked out are compatible with a ton of different pivot bars, but none of them are the 26-402. I'm not really sure what to recommend here, to be honest.

I think right now it would be best if you show me photos of the hardware you have now so that I can track them down. That way we won't have to guess.

Thank you. I'm not sure you can get any of our products to work in your window. The pivot shoes you picked out may work with some serious adaptation, but the pivot bar that is designed to work with them is the 26-424 and I don't think that will fit on your window.

These are very old windows. Ultimately, I think your best bet is to contact a local mill work that still makes wood windows. You can have them set you up with new jamb liners and pivot bars.

Which shoes are compatible with pivot bracket 26-355?
As long as shoe size is 1" (width) / 0.5" (thickness), I think I can work with it.
Thanks,

We don't carry a pivot shoe compatible with the 26-355. This is designed for older windows, like yours, where the pivot shoes are often not made anymore, or at the very least not a separate piece from the spring.
