Pivot shoe cam to small

Hi guys,

Well I ordered the 900 series balance system and pivot shoes Product Code: 15-134 swico. The problem now is, everything fits , except the cam hole, it's to small, the pivot bar is a little bit bigger so it won't fit in. So what are my options? New pivot bars? Or new pivot shoes?

Best regards Nik

It sounds like you just bought the wrong shoe. We should be able to help, but I need a photo of your original shoe in order to find a good match. I'll also need the exact size of the cam hole, since that's the main problem.

Thanks. It's tough to be sure, but that cam hole looks to be 3/16" x 5/16". If so, and assuming the dimensions otherwise match the 15-134, then you could use our 15-212 as a replacement. Look it over and see what you think. This is designed to be used with pivot bars like our 26-040.

The cam hole is 9mm x 6mm.

We don't have anything in that exact size, unfortunately. The 15-212 remains my best suggestion.
