I just purchased a very tired '46 that flys very well.
The windows have been shut with RTV and there are no latches. I would like to remedy this if anyone has a used set of latches. Univair is too pricey... I'll keep checking eBay etc..
Thanks,
Charley

Re: Window Latches Needed
From a related post/thread...by 8170 » Sun Jul 29, 2018 7:03 pm:
A little update: I am going to offer a kit comprised of all the pieces to assemble the window latches. The plan is to machine the inner link from solid aluminum and make the larger link from extrusion or sheet metal. I will supply the pieces and you finish the parts into an assembly. Tentatively the kit will consist of the following:
2ea. Inner links
2ea. outer links
4ea. attaching angles (I may ship these unbent and the owner/installer can bend to shape)
2ea. knob (either 3d printed or machined)
*There may be other misc. parts with the kit once I finalize.
I am trying to keep the kit price below $200 plus shipping. With the prices other places get for these parts I think that is a deal. I am hoping to have the first prototype done soon. Please be patient. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Thanks.

Re: Window Latches Needed
I have one window latch assembly available that we removed from our 140 (installed a set of new ones). It's in serviceable condition and will sell it for $60.00 including shipping in the lower 48 states.
Call me at 651-457-1554 if interested.

Re: Window Latches Needed
My latch kits should be coming soon. Working on some final details.
