Pivot bar has 3/8" wide foot, with two holes approx 13/16" apart. Bar is 4" long, but only the foot and the first hole are needed to install in my window.

Hello,

Take a look at our 26-129, which is the newer version of the pivot bar in your photos. It has a ring at the tip where it inserts into the shoe, so you may need to file that off in order to use it in your pivot bar. Take a look and see what you think. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for your suggestion. I used a bench grinder and file to remove the nobs on the nose, and then to further narrow it 1/16" on each side to match the original part. I also enlarged the second hole to fit my window's screw. I recommend this as a replacement for anyone with my original part, but you will have to file the nose.
