Sure! The latch is on the way to my buddy Alan in TX. As soon as it arrives I will tell him to review the product and post here some comments. It will still take some time before I can have it here.!

Here is a photo of the latch. The hinge points are pins that go all the way across, not rivets. It appears that the catch tab could be bent if the latch is too tight or too loose.
I don't have a window to test it on before I send it to Josep but I will see if I can find one.
