Hi I'm looking to replace a window balance for a tilting window.

The balance is 27 inches long and 5/8".

The current balance has a stamp of 26RL

We should be able to help supply this balance, but I'm not sure how your balance attached to the pivot shoe in your last couple photos. Do you have undamaged versions of these parts that we can look at instead? I feel like there may be some components missing that would give us a clue as to what you have and what we carry that can work.

The cord comes in from the top of the shoe and is just knotted underneath.

Thank you! That answers a lot of questions. Please give us a little more time to look into this and we'll get back to you ASAP. Your balance isn't a stock part but we'll do our best to track it down.

Alright, we were able to find a replacement option for this balance. We can supply it to you as a custom order. Our newer style is a little different than yours but it should still work for you.

Please note that our balance will be stamped 26R. I've actually never seen a 26RL stamp before, but I believe the 26R is what you need. I'll email you an order link and price quote now for 2 of these. Let me know if you had any questions.
