Dave's assessment seems to match my problem. Not to disagree with Jim without solid empirical evidence I will fire up the kerosene heater in my dad's garage, wait a couple hours until the temp goes above 25F & look at both options. I could snag some 71 arms off my Square, but that seems like cheating. And if these are original T34 arms (are they any different than any other T3 arms?) I'm a bit hesitant to use the "blue-tip wrench" for TWEEEAAAKKing.
