This window has a brass strut at the base of the window that locks into the lift rotator. It is three inches long , mounted by two screws into the base of the vinyl window. I need one of these, but will buy a pair if necessary.

Can you send a photo of this part? It'll be a lot easier to identify by sight.

Let me know if this picture is good enough to identify what I need

I'm not totally sure what I'm looking at now. Is that the underside of your sash?

If so, how far apart are those screw-holes? As well, you mentioned a brass strut. Where is this part?

I thought I sent you 2 pix---apparently the other one didn't go through. I will try again. It has the strut mounted on the bottom side of the sash so you can see how it fits together. The screws are about 2.5 inches apart. It is blurry, though I think you can get the gist of it. Thank you. Stephen

Unfortunately, that photo is just a little too blurry to make out the shape of the pivot bar. We'll need you to take a slightly stiller photo, to see if that seals the deal for us. Can you update us again?

This is the good side. I need a post/strut for the left side. One screw only. Stephen

Thanks, Stephen, for this photo. It appears our 26-040 pivot bar looks very close to your part. Take a look and let us know what you think.
