All of these have broken on every window in my house. Not sure of the window manufacturer, no markings anywhere. Single hung windows. Also need the shoe for a bunch of them! Thanks in advance. Miguel

Hello, Miguel! This pivot bar looks like a match for our 26-241. I am confident that this will work for you.

For the pivot ~~bar~~ shoe, I'd like to see a similar photo of it removed from the window. I will also need to know its width and thickness.

Thanks Tom! I assume you mean the pivot shoe? I'm attaching pics here, it's 1/2in wide. If you happen to have any of the coil housings as well (pictured) that would be great. Thanks again!

I did, sorry about that. It's been a long quarantine!

These photos are perfect, thank you. The shoe is a dead ringer for our 15-199 and I am very confident that's what you want. We don't have your coil balance covers, since yours is a little different than ours, but we do have some that should work instead. If your springs are 1/2" thick then I recommend 15-150D. If they're 3/8" thick instead, then you can use the 15-204.

These don't act as cartridges like your old ones, which I actually quite like, but they'll keep the coils in place just as well.
