Looking for a 3D model of the storm window latch

[varlajo]

...to 3D print same for 71E...

Thank you!!

Take a look at the one used on the Pipers.  With the right hardware it can work just fine.

Thank you!!

If the problem is a lack of model, I can make the CAD model for you in Solidworks.  You provide me with detailed measurements of the part, and I can whip it up quickly.  Then you can send that CAD model to xometry or other online source for printing.  You would be responsbile to set tolerances, material used, and any other manufacturing items.

Thanks!! I can do that. Will pick up the pieces, superglue together, and send measurements over.

I bought 2 new piper latches which worked well.  Slightly smaller, but works.

You could press the part into modeling clay, then use casting epoxy to create a new one.

I made one out of birch plywood. It’s beautiful.

The Piper latch I used was actually a little bigger overall; thicker and wider anyway.  Feels more durable.

This is a Piper 3D window latch for $10:

Mine was clear and I’m not sure where I bought it.  Will have to drag out the files.
