Someone tried to break in through a Jalousie window, bent the side connecting arms that rotate the glass and broke two 835 Philips Hinges (Pivot Brackets).

I spent a year (while doing other trailer projects) looking for a replacement window. Nothing.

Out of necessity I decided to try and fix/repair the one I had.

Hehr windows were typical on many trailers with variations in dimensions and number of louvers.

After assessing the damaged parts verses what could be bent back into straightness

I located the parts from https://www.vintagetrailersupply.com

835 Philips Hinges (Pivot Brackets)

The new 835 Philips Hinges (Pivot Brackets) were cast instead of stamped so they were slightly thicker than the original and they would rub on the connecting arms.

The red line that I am grinding off is all it took to gain the clearance needed.

The new 835 Philips Hinges are mounted.

Clean up and assembly.

I was able to straighten the two side connecting arms but this was the only picture, no video
