I am stuck in project. Need Reliabilt Vinyl Window Mull Kit 739590

Can anyone help with this problem. I have been calling local stores for an hour.

I have 6 reliabilt windows for which I need joining kits.

According to this page for the aluminum kit, (in the q and A below) item https://www.lowes.com/pd/ReliaBilt-59-5-in-White-Aluminum-Mull/50431744

there is an item 739590 that can be used on vinyl windows. Ive called a dozen Lowes stores within 50 miles and none have it in stock and only one said they could order it at a two week wait.

My construction workers have come to a near stop as they need the kit.

Does anyone know how this kit can be ordered? I heard Jen Weld bought reliabilt and have contacted them but no response as of yet.
It is just a trim piece (mull) with brackets?
I assume you have windows you want to join together? No studs between them?
Is saw these? https://www.lowes.com/pd/JELD-WEN-62-x-1-White-Window-Joining-Kit/3613876
Slightly longer, but they are metal I assume and could easily be chopped to size. Same width. I couldn't see a problem making them work.
 
Yes its a cover to go between windows to join them without studs in between them
Ok, perfect...then you can go with your link and wait, or get my link (hopefully sooner) and cut to size.
Not even sure they make vinyl mullions. Would be a shaky proposition I'd think as they need to be stiff to keep windows from rattling - the mullion subs in as a stud). I'd go with aluminum.
And they should come with all the hardware to install, including screws. As Steve noted, don't sub in dissimilar metals (galv - zinc, plain steel etc....SS is generally ok, probably what they come with).
