Window balance
I know these are 3/8 diameter. Just not sure on the length. From what I see they are a 17" and 29". Is that correct?

Spiral Balance Question
Just measured the tubes on a customer's spiral balances that need to be replaced. The tubes are 3/8" diameter and the length is 17 and 1/4 inches. Blue tip. Can I order series 900 17" balances or do I need to order up to the nearest inch ie: 18" balances. Thanks for your help.

17" spiral balance
The one in the first pic fits fine, the other one is too big in diameter (ordered wrong). The cover won't fit. Also, the "foot" at the bottom of the window in the 3rd pic needs replacing on both sides. Unsure of the name. I also need the cover for both sides.Tks!Anita
