I am looking for replacement pivot bars that match the attached pictures. It looks like P/N 26-271 might work. Does it have a catch on top that would hold it in the frame? How far back is the catch. My picture is of the broken bar,so it did have an end with a lip.

Thanks for contacting us. I'm not sure if the 26-271 can work based on your pictures. The shape of the body certainly looks close. Is the tip that goes into the pivot bar the same?

The tip that goes into the pivot bar is different. Mine are flat and are left or right specific. I thought this was the replacement and would work for either side.
Does your bar have a raised top to hold it in the frame? How far back is it?

I'm not sure what you mean when you mention a raised back. The body of the 26-271 looks just like your first batch of pictures. The only difference I can see is in the tip. I feel like it could still fit in the shoe regardless, but if not could you possibly just file one of the horns off?
