pivot bar for Certain-Teed window

Question

I need a replacement for a Certain-Teed Sash Pivot Bar.

Item number 26-353 on your website is basically similar to the broken pivot bar I need to replace, except that the original also has a small 1/8" knob located about 7/16" from the screw hole on the flat surface of the pivot bar and extending upward from the surface (photo of broken pivot bar attached).

Is the knob essential to the function of the original pivot bar? Would item 26-353 work as a replacement?

Thanks very much.

26-353 may work, but keep in mind that the pin itself is not offset like yours, so there's also a chance it may not. I think you should also consider our 26-175. This is actually what the manufacturer recommends as a replacement for your old discontinued pivot bar. I know it looks different, but CertainTeed insists that it should work in your existing pivot shoes.
