De-rusting window crank assembly

[TomW]

Auto parts stores sell small collections of "C" & "E" clips in the "Help" section. It should not be a problem to get a replacement.

I found some at Kragen in the RV section.

What exactly is that?

I have a '61 Bambi and have had to replace almost all of the arm cranks. But I have nothing to attach the end of the arm to the frame of the window. I am pretty certain that the clip at the top of the picture below is what I need. The plastic bolt on the bottom is a possible replacement. I'd rather not use it. Does anyone know where to find these?
Thanks!

pink...

Long after I took your advice of "squeezing those babies with pliers" I reviewed this thread. The clips looked much better squeezed than I would have imagined. You'd have to look very close from the side of each clip to tell they were squeezed.

Sadly, I was forced into selling this darling about a month later. Now, 10 months down the road I'm a happy owner of a 75 Argosy. We'll keep this one! BTW...the windows are MUCH easier to maintain and operate, IMHO.

Hey Sierrajb, thanks for the update. I'm glad you finally found "the right one"!! It's like they say...you just know.

Keep us posted!
