For some reason I can't upload a pic. But I bought a piece of steel from the hardware store, 36" long, 3/4" wide and 1/8" thick for less than $4. I cut it 2.5" longer than my existing arm. Drilled two holes and bolted it to my old one. Drilled a hole 2" up from my old hole and used a grinder to round off the square edges. It took an hour start to finish. I saw the idea somewhere on this forum. Worked perfectly, secondaries open fully and it's guzzling gas as it should.
