Tilt vinyl windows, broken pivot bar . Windows are at least 10 years old but don't know the manufacturer. The pivot bars I looked at don't seem to have a pointed top end...do you have any like this or that will work that are the same size? Thanks.

We should definitely be able to supply a match for this pivot bar. I'm reminded of the 26-398, but your tip is a little different. To confirm whether our part can work, can you show me a picture of the pivot shoe to which it connects?

Thank you! That's a huge help. This shoe looks like a match for our 15-129, which traditionally uses the 26-021 pivot bar. I think this might be a better option for you after all. Look over our pictures and dimensions and let me know if you agree.
