I previously purchased a seat adjustment arm from ? but the square tube it was made from was too light and one of my passengers broke it. I found some heavier wall tube (.063) and made a replacement arm. Since I had the knob from the previous arm it was an easy task. I think the heavier arm will resist my passengers attempts to break it if I watch them carefully. Works much better that the factory supplied handle. Also when I installed the arm I added the mini platenuts as it made it much easier to remove and replace the seat.

PS: I have heard that the supplier ? of the adjustment arm is now making them out of the heavy wall tubing.

I purchased mine from Greg Hale a couple of years ago. I remember he upgraded them due to the arm's breaking as you describe. Greg does not have them on his website anymore, so I don't think he is selling them. I noticed that Steve Dinieri at iflyrv10.com has them for sale. I have been very satisfied with other products I have purchased from Steve. Great customer service, too.I really like my seat adjustment arms.
