Mike, bummer on the pivots. I've never seen those sold seperate.. Junk yard?

I got my wing windows back together. First, I tried the clamping method above but the frame seal from wolfsberg is too thick for this method. I used bar clamps instead of the clamp bench, but the seal is really tight where the latch is and I decided to try another approach before going godzilla on it.

I went to a local glass shop and got some "bug tape" which is much thinner. Sprayed and wiped it with WD40 to make it swell and get tacky. Wrapped around glass edge. Pushed into frame by hand. Tapped frame home with rubber mallet with glass resting on carpet covered 2x4 board. Used two layers of masking tape on frame to keep hammer from marring powdercoat surface. Trimmed excess "bug tape" with razor. The "bug tape" is a good fit, but could be a little tighter. Maybe a thin coat of sealant inside the frame would have been a good idea.
