window sash pivot bars

A home owner from USA says:

I have been looking for replacement window sash pivot bars for my window in a house we just purchased. The house was built in 1998 and there is no identifying markings on the window as to who made them.
The pivot assemblies are metal and riveted shut so I can not just replace spring pin. I have attached photos. I am getting desperate to find these so the windows can be opened without falling out.
Please let me know if you can help me.

We have a number of parts we would like for you to take a look at to see if any of these would work for you. Please begin with our 26-442 metal top tilt latch. It has a length measurement of 2-5/8". Next, take a closer look into our 26-393B tilt latch with a 2-3/8" length measurement. And lastly, our 26-371 tilt latch with a 2-3/32" measurement. Review each part carefully to see which of the three would make the better match for you.

The parts you gave me are for the top of the sash, the part I need is for the bottom of the sash that holds the window in the cable mechanism. The end is square to fit into the connector on the cable assembly. The top picture I sent is the bottom of the sash. The part is rooted together so can not just replace the pin I need the entire assembly and it is made of metal.

Ah, I apologize for the confusion. Sorry I missed that. I'm afraid we don't have a spring loaded pivot bar. We have two that look close to yours, our 26-373 which is 2-1/16" long and our 26-379 which is 2-5/8" long. Our pivot bar manufacturers don't have a housing 2-1/4" long and we have been unable to find something that matches. It's possible you have an older style that isn't made anymore.
