Jalousie glass block window crank

A home owner from Berwyn says:
Looking to replace this part. It appears most of the options have longer arms than what I have and I fear the replacement will not work properly. Any suggestions?

We do not have a Jalousie operator with a link that short, however, we do sell a kit. Take a look at 39-346, if you can carefully remove the original short link arm, you can attach it to this new operator with the included fasteners.

A home owner from Berwyn says:
The kit has the smallest length at 3" and the total length of the unit I am currently using is 3"
A home owner from Berwyn says:
And I need the entire crank as the gears on the original model are stripped and no longer turn the window open

I would suggest the 39-346 operator, though you would need to cut down one of the arms supplied in the kit. Or, you could remove the arm off your existing operator and install it on the 39-346 .
