Tilt latch for Home Craftsman aluminum windows by Ply Gem

Question

This is to ask you to please help me find replacement tilt latches for my aluminum Home Craftsman windows by Ply Gem. Ply Gem no longer carries these parts. I contacted them and they suggested I contact you. These windows were installed in my house before I bought it in 1989.

Across the top, as you would look down on the latch from above, it is two inches long.
From the underside of the top piece to the bottom of the piece with a mounting hole in it is 1 and 1/4 inches.
If you have a part that is close, I can trim it or drill it.

Hello,

Unfortunately, the manufacturer of these top tilt latches has discontinued them and offer no replacement. We suggest removing the old tilt latch, reinstalling the top side corner screw to keep the sash together and installing top mounted tilt latches 26-193 and 26-194 on top with a #6 pan head screw like our 33-089. Just be careful not to drill into the glass. Thank you!
