The plastic bracket holds the bar that connects the two latches to the control lever on tall casement windows( vinyl, thermal pane ).
I can't Find a name anywhere.
The brackets are breaking causing the latch to be useless. The windows now don't seal, which is important in Minnesota.

Hello there!

Thank you for reaching out to us. I'm afraid I don't know what exact brackets you're looking for. May we see some photos of them?

I'll try sending two pics. Not sure if it will work. I have poor internet service.

Thanks for the photos! This part is called a tie bar guide. I don't believe yours is made anymore but our 39-448 is similar and should work as a replacement. Take a look and see what you think.

The pn 39?448 works if I grind 1/6" off the side opposite the area that wraps around the tie bar. I can even use the original holes in the window frame. Look
