Hello!

Your balance is a match for either our S380-33 or S385-33 channel balance. These two parts may look identical at first glance but each has a different shoe depth. The Series 380 comes with a 1" deep shoe, while the Series 385 comes with a 1-3/32" shoe. Measure as shown in the diagram below to determine the best match. You will also need the 3250 strength option, based on your 32 5 stamp.
