Searching for awning lock pins rivots

I purchased a house in south Florida and have awning windows from the 70's. I need the pins/rivots that allow the windows to lock closed when retracted. The attached pictures show the windows and the pin/rivot inserted into the side of the window panel. There is supposed to be one on each side of the window panel. When the window closes, it contacts the frame and then raises up about 1/4 to a 1/2 inch to lock the window into a hook,for lack of a better word,against the frame.

Hello!
Thank you for reaching out to us. We don't sell a replacement for the pins in your photos, unfortunately. Your best bet may be the original manufacturer if they're still around or you could try a local mom-and-pop type hardware shop. I am very sorry that we won't be able to assist with this repair but please let us know if you have any other hardware questions.
