Re: wing window.
I used a flat head screw that I ground down to fit about 11 years ago and still works fine.

You might check with some of the parts vendors, those rivets might be available. Something that size might even be available at your local hardware store. The only problem with the rivets is you would probably have to take the wing vent out to install them. LockDoc

Re: wing window.
I have a bunch of wing windows if you decide to replace the entire system....
I'll give you a good price since I don't need them all...

Sorry guys, I was thinking top pivot. After reading the original post closer I finally figured out it's the bottom (as stated) one with the spring on it. It may be weldable but the frame is probably pretty weak right where you would need to weld it. I would consider replacing it with a good used one. LockDoc
