Which pivot shoe?

Question

Hi I'd like to replace some broken pivot shoes.

The dimensions are:
depth: 1/2"
width: 1 1/4"
length: 2 1/2"

They are for a blue tip spiral balance and should fit this pivot bar

Despite the length difference would https://www.swisco.com/Spiral-Shoe-Blue-Break/pd/Tilt-Window-Replacement-Pivot-Lock-Shoes/15-188 be suitable

Hello,

I actually had the same thought. Luckily, the length isn't a huge factor since the pivot shoe has the entire window jamb to extend. As long as the width and thickness match up, the 15-188 should make a good replacement option. Thanks for posting!
