Spiral Balance, Pivot Shoe and Pivot Bar

Question

Hello, hope you're doing well. I've been searching everywhere for these parts and can't find them. I removed them several months ago, so don't have access to originals right now. They're for my cousin that lives out in Puerto Rico, I'm in NY.

- The balancers are 25 1/2" with orange tip, but they have a white plastic cover slightly longer than the metal cover.

- the shoe is 1 1/4"w x 1/2"d x 2 1/4"h, the bar opening is roughly 5/16w x 3/16h, it's missing the standard metal clip for holding balancer

- the bar is L shaped and "permanently" attached to window, doesn't slid like others. It's 1 1/14"w x 1"h and bar sticks out 5/8" Forgot to mention, the shoe/pivot lock has a number on the front. It's either 5300 or 53001.

Thanks again.

I need 8 of each. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Ivan.

Hi Ivan. Your exact pivot shoe is no longer made, but past customers have used the 15-046 to replace it. Take a look and see what you think. The pivot bar might be our 26-407, but please compare to confirm.

If the outer tube of your spiral balance is either 25-1/2" or 26" long, then you need either the S600-26 or S900-26. Measure the diameter of the outer tube to determine which of these you need. The Series 600 has an outer tube diameter that is 5/8" in diameter; the Series 900, 3/8". In either case choose the Red Tip option; your old balance's color tip likely just corroded from age.
