"T" nosed pivot bar and shoe

A quick learner from USA says:

I measured my parts and the shoe has the same dimensions as your 15-219. The top of the shoe looks like it has 2 locations for the "T-nose" of the spring ... but they look like they are not centered on the shoe. Is that ok? The spring I have has a single "t-nose".

The pivot bar that I have is 3 3/4" in over all length compared to your 3 1/8" for 26-396. That may not be a problem; do you know? Also, to verify - the 2 holes on my part are 1" and 1 1/2" from center of hole to "t-nose" end.

Thanks for posting. I agree, our 15-219 pivot shoe looks close, especially if the dimensions are the same. I'm not sure what you mean by a T nose. Do you mean the tip of the spiral? If so, it can install in either slot on the shoe, it doesn't really matter which. Our 75-006 tool should make the installation simpler. See the video below for more information. Finally, comparing our 26-396 pivot bar to yours, ours looks to be shorter has a hole positioning of 15/16" and 1-7/8". I don't know how critical these dimensions are since this is the only pivot bar available in this unique shape from the molder.
