Here is a picture of my existing pivot shoes and surface mount latches. Can you help me identify replacements?
Thank you!

I received the package you sent and got to work.
This is all new to me, but I managed to replace one of the pivot shoes. It seems to work well; but when I close the window, the front of the sash rubs against the window frame. I can jam it closed, but there is a loud creaking noise from all the friction and it is very difficult to open again. Is there an adjustment I can make? Is there another part that would be a better fit?
Also, I didn't realize that the pivot shoes for the top sash were different from the bottom dash. Do I just need to buy spacers to go with the pivot shoes I already bought, or is it a completely different part?
Finally, my existing latches have holes on 2-7/16" centers. The new year ones from you are 2-9/32. Is there another option that might line up better? I'm afraid if I drill new holes, the new holes will intersect with the old holes and I'll end up with a huge oval.
Thanks!
