At first glance, your part looks like our 26-446 pivot bar. Look it over and see if this will work. |

Hey there, I think I can help with this one. I've seen your pivot bar a couple times before. I can tell you right now that we don't have an exact match and we never were able to find it. The 26-446, despite its differences, remains the closest option we have. The first and most obvious difference is the tip, which you pointed out in your latest response. That is an issue but its not unfixable. The first solution to come to mind is to change the pivot shoe to match. I've done this before myself in other, similar situations, though admittedly not for this exact hardware. The issue there is that you need to make sure you find a pivot shoe that not only fits the new style pivot bar, but also one that fits in the old track and connects to the old balance without issue. That kind of starts a domino effect, though. It may be more trouble than its worth. Another solution that comes to mind is a lot less elegant but may still solve your problem. That would be to simply grind down the "collar" around the tip of the 26-446 so that it fits in your pivot shoe. I've also done this, and although it was more of a hassle than simply swapping out the pivot shoe, I knew I could get it to work. Lastly, there is one more difference that may impact the 26-446's performance: the distance from the center of the screw hole to the tip. In the case of the 26-446, this measurement is 1-5/16". I can't quite make out what yours is from the tape measure but it looks to be shorter. That may negate this whole exercise, so definitely double check it. Otherwise, these are the best solutions we have. I'm sorry that we're not able to provide the exact part you need. |
