Quick Learner
looking for assistance on replacing spirals balances, currently speaking with customer service about it. The rod is 30 inches long and 0.41 in in diameter as measured with a calipers. The number on the rod is 30 11. Please let me know if any additional parts are needed. I also stripped my pivot shoe removing the balance from window.

Hello,

The assembly shown in your photos resembles the S900-30 but these types of spiral balances do not normally have a stamp code on the tube. I would like to see photos of the stamp to determine if the S900 would work as a replacement. 

As for your pivot shoe, we would need to see a photo of yours fully removed from the window, as well as confirm the exact width and thickness, to compare to our inventory. Thank you!

Casey, I have added a few photos as requested. You can see that the number on the balancer is 30 11. The pivot shoe is more of a challenge. I was not able to get the pivot shoe out of the track. I did add a couple of photos and some measurements. From the bottom center to the top center of the shoe is 1.758". The track (narrow outside part) center to center is 0.686" I hope this is enough to get you going. Could I use the existing pivot shoes as I do not see how I can get them out and the new ones in the track? Thanks Frank

Thanks for getting back to us. We believe that the S900-30 spiral balances will work for your application but you will need to weigh your window sash and follow the chart under the product description to confirm the correct color option for your replacements. 

As for the pivot shoe, we can be sure what you need with the part still installed but what a can see reminds me of the 15-134. See the specifications below and the video showing the cutout method to replace these parts. With that being said, you can reuse the original pivot shoes if they are still in good condition.
