The guy at the parts store gave me a couple little plastic "shims" to use which insert between the arm and the blade carrier where the arm slides into it which make it a nice tight fit.
I've found if I look up the part# I need online & take it to local store, they can/will order it for me. I wanted Tri-Co with the knurled adjustable-angle for the blade itself(ones I ordered online did not fit parallel to bottom of w-shield when off; needed that knurled-adjustable type, & now they lie good & look good.) plus in the 13" length, and Adv. A-Parts ord'd them for me. Found no one seems to carry 13" in stock!
