Obscure vent window question

Hi all,

I have a passenger side vent window that has a broken top pivot hinge mount. With the 60s stuff becoming very hard to find, and the shipping of new parts out of the US very expensive at the moment, I am wondering whether anyone would know if the later years used the same pivot point?? I could rob one out of the later years and re rivet in. A tiny issue I know but theyre not available to buy seperately! And without one I cant install the window!

For little parts like that made from pot metal, I have often wondered if it would be possible to scan a good part and reproduce with a 3D printer using a high strength resin.

How much is the shipping? Do you have any salvage yards nearby? Maybe can find a vent frame that isn’t usable in whole, but could rob that little pivot.

Yes good idea. That would work based on how much the vent window gets used.

For what people in Aus want for single doors its not worth me buying one to just use the vent window. Makes the door worthless to the next person.
