Zero, I will send it. Another member machined the lift arm to look like the new ones also, kinda pricey, I do not have a pic of that.
Also, I changed a couple minor things, I will update the drawing and send it. Also, let me make sure this works, I'm a little nervous on the "twist" it may experience because this is a single lift point, where as the new ones have one each side. Does your staggered setup use two arms???
One more thing, I set the "throw" for about 7.5", you may require more depending on how long your arms are and where they pivot. Easy adjustment to make, just lengthen the base and rod.

I get confused, easily, not ashamed to admit it.
I also want to test it to see if it twists side to side. The old roller was trapped inside that channels. This kind of dangles around in the open, and the tip of the arm is only 1" thick X 1" wide. We shall see.
