Tilt Latches Help

I am looking for replacement tilt window latches for Castle double hung vinyl windows. Visually and dimensionally, they most resemble your 26-228/229 parts. However, mine are 1-11/32" wide, 2-3/32" hole center, and have a 3/16" diameter boss that sticks out the bottom about .100. Hole diameter is 3/16". There are no identifying numbers or name on them. Do you have anything that will work?
Thank you,

I think you might want to look at our 26-120 and 26-121. Are these closer? They used to come in with a screw boss, but they can used without it. If you're still not sure, please upload pictures of your tilt latch and we can work from there.

Here are pics (I hope)of my latches, with the ends broken off. The screw boss on the bottom is 5/16" diameter, with 2-3/32" center-to-center holes. Both the 26-120/121 and 26-228/229 are very similar, with the 26-228/229 a bit closer due to the overall length. However, both of them have 2-1/8" center-to-center, not the 2-3/32" that I require.

Thank you. Looking at these pictures, I think our 26-120 and 26-121 are our closest matches. I'm afraid we don't have a tilt latch in this style with 2-3/32" hole center spacing, so I cannot guarantee that it will work, but 2-1/8" may be close enough.
