Hi All

I had a uPVC window that was stuck closed. Gearbox had had its day. Managed to get it open by removing glass and drilling through frame then lift the shoot bolt up with screwdriver.

Removed mechanism. It says speedbolt on it, seems to be Nico brand. Must be obsolete, can't find replacement anywhere.

Pics attached. Any ideas? Is there a universal replacement for this scenario?

Thanks for reading.

Speedbolt has been superceded for a while now, tried to source these a couple of years ago to no avail so it was more cost effective to retrofit a new mechanism
 
Thank you for your help.

So you say "retrofit new mechanism". I assume this means buying newer assembly such as more modern type with rollers or mushrooms and their corresponding keeps and fitting the whole caboosh to the frame?
