Winged channel balance

I am trying to figure out the correct balance for my window. It is a winged top and bottom. My tape measure doesn't go to 32nds. Measuring it is weird since the metal portion measure to about 13 1/2" with a width of 9/16. There is 13 2 BSI stamped on it as well. The bottom part measures to about 1 1/6".

Can you show me pictures of the balance in question, specifically of both ends? I suspect this might not be a standard balance based on the purported length. From there I'll see what we have for you.

Thank you for the reply. The bottom portion and the metal clip on it is the broken part. Let me know if you need any more pics and/or info.

Thanks for getting back to me. As I suspected, this balance has to be custom made due to its unique design. Can you show me a clearer picture of that metal clip that comes out of the bottom nylon shoe? That clip may resemble our 62-108, among other shapes; but its exact style is important for full identification. Finally, how many balances do you need? From there I'll prepare a quote for you.
