Have a tilt window with broken spiral balance on right side. Various connecting pieces broken both sides and on the window itself. I can identify the pictures if needed. I had 10 pictures. Hoping to sent the rest in 2nd message.

Hello!

You only showed broken pivot shoes, so please compare the dimensions of our 15-046 to an undamaged pivot shoe to see if this matches what you need. The balance system will be our Series 600.

Thanks for your very helpful info. Now that I've had time to get to this I think I know what to order. The only question is the pivot shoe dimensions. Since they are all broken it was hard to measure. I think the 15-046 matches all dimensions except mine might be 9/16 deep. I'm thinking better a little smaller than too big too fit in the slot. The tubes are 25" and the sash is 8 lb. I will attach more pictures.

I wouldn't go any thicker on the pivot shoe, the 15-046 is fine for your window. The pivot bar is our 26-040 and you'll need our S600-25 with a red tip option for a 8 pound sash. Our 75-006 charging tool would also be very helpful with charging the balance and attaching the spiral to the pivot shoe. Take a look at these items along with the helpful videos listed on this page and see what you think.
