The length is 34 inches which gets me to the series S385-34. The problem is that the stamp code on my old balance doesn't m ... (cont.)

Channel Balacne Length
Hello, I've narrowed down a match in components, however on the Series 380, you only list metal channel sizes 32 and 33 and so on. Mine measures 32 5/8. So the question is, do I go with the 32 or 33 inch length? Thank you, Gary

My main question is that the length of the channel is 25 5/8 inches so I am not sure what size to use. Secondly it appears that the hook is lower on the change then those shown. From the pictures it appears to be a 19-005 top and a 15-005 shoe. These are Milgard non-tilt. The window weighs 19lbs ... (cont.)
