Spiral balance

A quick learner from Baltimore says:
Good afternoon,

I just submitted another request to help find Pivot Shoes.

I have 5 windows with 28" yellow balances, and 2 windows with 26" white balances.

The ones I have are plastic, but I think I can replace with metal, correct?

Hello there!

This looks like a tilt window spiral balance. With that in mind, I recommend either the 3/8" Series 900 or 5/8" Series 600 depending on the diameter of the outer tube. Note that when determining length, you only want to measure the outer tube. 

Yes! Our metal tubes can indeed replace your old plastic ones.
