Replacing Mila Espag Lock

    I have a Mila Espag lock for a UPVC window where the internal gearbox mechanism has broken and the slider with the locking mushrooms can no loner move up or down.

    Its the 'Gr. 80' (750mm long) with a 20mm backset. I see online that this series of lock is discontinued - it seems I cannot find them anywhere.

    This link here - https://www.windowanddoorparts.ie/shop/window-parts/mila-window-espag-lock-inline-20mm-22mm-backset/ suggests that I should buy a new one, and move the position of the window keeps (I guess the part that the mushroom locks into ? ).

    My question is - Is there a way I can replace this without moving the position of the keeps ? I'd love if I could just slot in a new part without making any new holes in the window frame. If someone could post a link to a website that seems to have them in stock I'd be forever grateful. Amazon only has one Mila version, with the wrong backset.
