Please forgive my ignorance if this is information already located here on The Samba site somewhere, however, does someone have some detailed instructions of how to replace the latch on my right vent window ('67 Type II Westfalia)?

I've ordered the latch already; the last one's handle part broke off years ago, and I've never gotten around to replacing the latch.
I DID additionally order some rivets that seem to also be needed (?).

My wife and I are biting the bullet and making my "Rust Experiment in Progress" bus a daily driver again after 10+ years, and since it'll be parked on the street in Oakland, CA, it seems wise to have all the latches and locks working.

Thanks in advance for any/all instructions/manuals/links/guides and/or "how to" pictograms. Much appreciated!

From the Bus FAQ at the top of this section:
Please reference and use this thread if you have questions:

In that thread EverettB posted this link with some quick photos of just a latch replacement:
