I need 4 new 32 x 5/8 spiral non-tilt balances for some old wooden windows. Each window weighs 20 lbs. Would you recommend the blue tip balances or the red tipped? I will also need the "foot" or "carriers" for both windows. Thank you

Tilt Storm Window pieces
I think I see two parts here: the Swisco 91-003 spring and the 26-297 pivot bar. Does that look right? I'm not as sure about the finger slider or the latch. What are your ideas?
