The difference is that the old rusty one still has the arm attached - just unscrew it...


No kidding, It was so rust crusted that I couldn't discern the point where it unscrewed. I was under the impression it was a solid piece to the bottom plate. However, it is apart now! Nothing a little die grinder action with a scotch pad and some brake fluid to cut the rust down couldn't handle.

Glad to hear that the one from Hirsch worked.
I will probably go that route as he is about 50 bucks cheaper than Merritt, unless someone has a specific brand/model number that I can contact NAPA/other sources for. I seem to remember Hirsch was cheaper last year when I was toying around on his site. I think it used to be 180, now 275, seems a little greedy to me. Merritt is his usual high self at 325. I really wish people would realize that the classics are not bringing as much as they were 10-15 years ago.

Any help would be great.

Thanks guys!
