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

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.
