Vinyl window screen insert retainers

A quick learner from 55429 says:

Good afternoon,

I need your help identifying the needed replacement components for our house vinyl windows. The house was built in 1960 and the windows were replaced some time in the 1990's to when we purchased it in 2012.

The little wing is breaking off leaving us the rivet the base and the spacer washer.

The rivet shaft diameter is .135 the head diameter is .244 the height is .184 and the washer diameter is .375.

I have a number of windows that have at least one of the swing tabs broken so I would like to go through and replace them all. will need around 50 assemblies.

Please let me know if you need additional information.

Thank you for your help.

Hello! This clip looks like a match for our 70-210 at first glance. Look it over and let me know if you agree.

We usually install these with a thumbscrew like our 70-112, but you could also use pop rivets from your local hardware store if you prefer that.
