Greetings:
working on lubing window balances and found several that need replacing. I attached 5 photos and will attach a couple more with my next post.
if you can determine the part, I'll need 3 or more.
Thanks!

Hi, Marc. I'm seeing Series 390 balances, which are known for their signature 1-1/8" shoe, shown below. Is that what you have on your balance?

In a prior email, you asked for confirmation about one of the parts. I couldn't tell so I punched out the rivet and took more up close pictures. I apologize for the delay in getting back to you, but I've been on the road. I supplied the reference number above because the link in the email dated 06/16/2018 at 11:16 am didn't work.
Thanks.

Hi, Marc. Welcome back.
Unfortunately, there are two issues here. Firstly, this is the wrong attachment. You're showing me the top, but you need to the look at the bottom.
The second issue is that it's much better for you to take the measurement and write it out for me. Between you angling the photo and me trying to read it, it introduces two different ways for us to mess it up!
Take a look at the depth of your bottom attachment, and let me know what the measurement is, if you're having trouble.

So Ben; I'm back after much time on the road. the only question I have left is how do I measure for the size? I see Swisco has a variety of sizes. How do I know which I need?

The size is determined by the length of the metal bar from end to end. No plastic.
