Yeah, I would've bought all the arms if there were more to be purchased.  That design is far superior to the original.  If I had to guess, though, I'd say that most folks with early T3s don't drive through much rain.  I've been surprised at how few people complain about the early arms.

Used, but in really nice shape.  Sometimes I actually prefer buying nice used parts over NOS.  It's far easier to talk yourself into installing them!
