I'm replacing s850-28, Black 1 1/4" width shoe balance with 28 Series 795 1 1/4" shoe, channel balance. I'm looking at #26-366 pivot bars as a replacement. Do you think this is a good choice? See added photos. If all looks OK I will proceed to order a set 2 balances and two pivot bars to start.

?? Do I need a different shoe with these pivot bars ? Thanks for your attention to this matter.

I think the 26-366 pivot bar is your only choice, in fact. However I'm not sure that the tip will be long enough to fit into the new style pivot shoe. You will likely need to drill new holes for the pivot bar to mount properly.

Tom, would you be able to check the length of the pin that sticks out from the window that goes into the pivot shoe for me? The sketch doesn't show its length. As per my sketch, I need 11/16". Thanks

I'm afraid I can't check at the moment. We're all working from home due to the quarantine. Doing a little math, though, it's probably about 21/32", which is only a little less than 11/16". It may very well work as-is.
