Left handed Jalousie window operator crank

I am trying to replace this piece as the teeth in the gear the crank attaches to have worn out. My problem is I cannot find one that has the link piece with a smooth rivet like in pic 4653. With a nut it pushes against the entire window system and doesn't work. I almost cracked the entire metal piece that all of the windows attach to. I have more pics but the limit for posting here is 5.

I believe you can use one of our jalousie window operators to replace this. You can see our entire selection here.

None of the ones pictured there seem to have a flat rivet in place of a nut and screw where the 4" link attaches to the main part of the window operator. Is there any particular one that is flat like in the pics that I posted that you can recommend?

I'm afraid we don't carry an exact match to this operator. Would that particular feature get in the way of its operation?

Yes - as I had said in my original post, the original piece has that and a replacement I purchased that doesn't feature that does not work. If you look at the pictures, you will see what I am talking about.

I'm afraid we haven't been able to find anything like that. Would it be possible to file that rivet down a little to give you the clearance you need?

These kind of windows aren't made much anymore, so I don't think you're going to find an exact match for what you need on the market. I'm sorry we couldn't offer a closer match.
