Source for Hehr jalousie window clips?

[Ian]

Hey gang,

We unfortunately broke one of the front jalousie windows on our last trip, and it took out one of the clips with it. I found a few replacement clips on Amazon or here: www.allaboutdoors.com/index.php?cPath=85_353&osCsid=8625c2318e1c5b589778658910226440

but these aren't the right size.

Has anybody found a source for replacement clips for our windows? I'm going to start looking for used ones, but I'm sure others need them too.

I did find that getting the glass out isn't hard, and had a local glass place cut me a piece for about $10 with seamed edges. If you look carefully you can see the difference, but you have to be looking for it.

Have you checked VTS?

I didn't know VTS even carried these! Thanks Ross! I need one but haven't made it far enough to need it yet.

Yup, checked there first. They're now obsolete and not available, and I assume nobody is building more. I guess if they get enough interest maybe they will, so I'll put my name on the list. It's a piece of stamped metal, not expensive to make once you make a die.

Here is one of my parts sources and they have 3 different types, 2 @ 4" and 1 @ 4 1/2". however, none are for HEHR windows.

Maybe you can make one of them work.

Thanks Ross, I've seen those and one key dimension is off, the distance from the rivet hole to the bottom of the clip. So the glass would sit 1/2" too high. Argh.

I have a small 2 pane jalousie window from an early 1960 Shasta. What is the height of the panes on your Shasta?

[Ian]

They are 4" tall.

The panes on the small jalousie window I have are 4". How many are you needing and rights, lefts or both?
