1960 Hehr Roof Vent Operator
Hello All, i am using the original aluminum roof vent on my 1960 Airstream 18’ Traveler. The slide mechanism for the operator arm, the part that slides in the track on the vent cover, has broken. I would like to repair it with original equipment. Please see photos of original operator arm.
Does anyone have any leads on a matching replacement arm with slider part or the slider part alone? Thanks!

Looks like the Hehr Standard window operator of the 50s. Check out Vintage Trailer Supply. The hole at the end of the arm looks like where the grommet, or pin, goes that allows the arm to slide in the track. Just a guess. Good luck
