New spiral
The part I'm looking for is 15" long and I think 5/8" wide. (Although it looks like 1/2") and has a blue tip. I will need 4.

Balance shoes for American Craftsman series 8500 windows.
I am looking for the correct lock shoes for my American Craftsman series 8500 double hung windows. The shoe is basically 2 inches from top to bottom, 11/4 inches from side to side and roughly 17/32 inches from front to back.

pivot shoe that I'm looking for
This is the pivot shoe that I'm looking for. I thought 15-118 would work. My shoe is 9/16th x 1.25" x 2.190" my question is do you have the exact shoe or would 15-118 do the trick? Pls advise .
