Are the two arms hitting together or is it the bar at the bottom of window hitting the screws when trying to pass that is holding things up.

No idea at the moment if the arms without seeing the action but if it is the bar, then a guess is probably something along the lines you have made but without the bolts-- a shouldered center the thickness of both arms with either a slot the depth of the second arm or possibly something less thick but bosses fitting into the holes in the other arm. Maybe a 1/16 or so thick flange holding the arm on the one side. Threaded for countersunk flat head screws and those screws coming from the other side holding a washer also with countersunk holes large enough to keep the other arm sandwiched. Whole assy would need to be fairly flat. Probably a piece of felt somewhere to keep the arms from rattling. If you can't find a real one, a machine shop or friend with a lathe or mill should be able to make something fairly easily.
