1976 window latch

Hello,

Just got an ambassador a month ago and slowly discovering random missing parts... Like one of the latches on the windows, the only part missing is the latch that locks the window in place (see pictures below)

Anyone know where I can get a replacement or better yet, have one they don't need?! I've looked a few places but all I can find is the handle assembly but not just the latch on its own.

Thanks for your help!

Those parts are sold by airstream dealers. They are still available.

I've ordered the entire assembly from Outofdoorsmart.com. I doubt if anyone sells just the latch. Then again, you could probably make one from scratch with a drill, round-file, and a piece of scrap metal.
