Viking window latch

The hook broke off because the window wasn't properly aligned. Would very much like to leave the part that it hooks into in place, as it's a tight fit already. Holes look to be about 2 1/16" apart, maybe very slightly more. Numbers on back: 8300-02 and then 2 8303 on the hook itself. Thanks so much!

Thanks for posting. To start, take a look at our 90-278. This has a hole spacing of 2-1/16". Compare the offset dimension as well to your old part, and see if you think this could work you.

For anyone else Googling this, I successfully replaced a Viking 8300-02 (with 8303-03 on the hook cam) with the 90-278.
I re-used the original keeper, because the 90-278 keeper mounts with a 90 degree rotation relative to the original.
Note also the latch operation of the 90-278 is opposite the original: ie if the original "open" position is up, the 90-278 open position is down.
Other that that it's a great fit. The die casting and cam are very similar.
