Please help in trying to determine if you have something to replace my broken pivots. The 26-373 or 404 look to be close but mine are plastic/ ceramic? I don't know the brand of windows, there are no markings or numbers visible. All vinyl

Thank you for reaching out to us! Can you show us some photos of these parts installed? I can't promise we'll have a match but that will help us confirm.

Thanks for the additional photos! We believe what you're showing here is an older version of the 26-040 pivot bar and 26-382S case. These parts aren't a direct replacement so we can't make any guarantees but they do appear to be our best options. Take a look a see what you think.

Thanks Emily, I will give those a try!
Also I will be ordering several balance coils for all my windows. I have all the weights figured out but need a verification on coil series. I believe the s-160 is the style I need, they are all 1/2" wide with a "T" that attaches to pivot shoe. Here is a pic of what they look like.
Thanks for your help!!

No problem, I'm happy to help!

Your pivot shoe looks like it may be a match for the 15-111. If that's the case, the 1/2" Series 160 are the compatible springs and would be what you want.
