Pivot bars and pivot lock shoes

A quick learner from Normal, IL says:
Hi, the windows are UniFrame brand. The pivot bars are 3"long. The pivot lock shoes are 1/2" thick, 1-1/4" wide and 2-1/8" tall. I would also like to replace the tilt latches with external tilt latches. I have 4 windows to repair, but would like to get extra parts. Please let me know what you have available.

Thanks for posting! Your pivot shoe looks a lot like our 15-188 which has a 1/2" thickness, is 1-1/4" wide and 2-1/8" tall.

This shoe is typically compatible with either the 26-226 however, there is a chance that you'll need to drill a new hole in the window frame to install the pivot bar. Take a look at the dimensions below to determine if this might be a fit for you. If you do need to drill a new hole, you'll have to exercise caution so that you do not drill into the glass.

In regard to the latches, take a look at the video below for instructions on how to convert your window to one that uses a surface mount latch.
