I broke the pivot pin and I'm looking for some way to replace it. It doesn't have to be the exact part. It is on a wood framed windows in a house build in 1998 in Maryland. One of my neighbors said it is from company now owned by Jeld Wen. When I called Jeld Wen, they guessed it may be from WinCo windows. Any help would be appreciated.

Our 26-402 might work for you, but you might have to file down the tip since ours is 3/8" wide compared to your 1/4". What do you think?

Thanks. That sounds like a good idea. Should I buy the pivot shoe that goes with it instead of trying to file it down? Or would that make it more complicated?

Since your existing pivot shoe still works, I would leave it as-is. It would honestly be easier to file down the tip of the pin a little than to try and find a pivot shoe that will fit in your channel.
