Hello,

Your pivot shoe does resemble the 15-192 but past customers have often reported needing to shave down the front for installation. Just keep in mind that parts can not be returned once they are modified.  The 15-192 uses the S170 and S171 coil springs, as well as the related support hardware.

We also offer a conversion video below that will work for Simonton or Certainteed windows. Take a look to see which option you'd prefer. Thanks for posting!
