Thanks again for that link Dennis.

On the replacement arm, I'm seeing more rust than anticipated at perch plate.

top of perch plate looks ok. Image:

IF the rust hasn't progressed too far,
would it be a waste of time to:

remove perch plate, paint arm and plate bottom, tack weld plate
back onto arm, paint as needed is this a waste of time?

I'd tack weld the plate as that's what VW did, and, it would make
future removal
easier.

Thoughts?

Neil.
