<div dir="auto">I had to put that screw in the handle. The handle originally had a stem that ended in a rounded over end, like the rivet you described. When I took the whole thing apart I had to grind off that rivet head. When I put it back together I was able to drill and tap the remains of that stem and use a small screw to put it all back together.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Joe </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Nov 24, 2024, 8:40 AM Gary Winblad <<a href="mailto:winbladgary@gmail.com">winbladgary@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>You could probably use a spacer and a small screw.

To get the best results I took everything apart as much as I could. When it came time to put things back together I had a little problem with the pins that hold the vent window latches together. I think I used a small nail or maybe some welding rod, but whatever I used has fallen out. In the photo below I have circle the parts that need to be pinned together.<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><img border="0" width="384" height="510" style="width:4in;height:5.3166in" id="m_-332051393554320074m_2989166162729792294Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:ii_1935e9bd6d64ce8e91"><u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">So my question is, what is the "right" way to do this.
