Hey, what's my picture doing on Frank DeKat's website? (Ask me know I

Anyway, if you look at the pix, the arms ''are'' different - the old
style has "flares" on both sides for the rubber to snuggle up against.
On the newer style, there is only a flare on the side the bushing is
pushed in from, IIRC.
