What you want to do is capture that spring at the front end or put a leaf spring in the rear that's in another groove so it can't pop out and vanish.
I've changed the way the spring is attached, because I wouldn't be able to machine the little cone, but It serves the same purpose. I suppose you want a way to permanently attach the spring? It might be a little easier to epoxy attaching the spring this way, but it should be relatively secure.

As to the grub screw, it is something I could add, but the main reason I'm making the arms is to work better with my nubs, but it would also help people out who want to design their own nubs, as the arm will grab the nub and won't allow it to rotate. That and if the nub needs a grub screw to hold the nub in, then I didn't do a very good job designing the pair.

I'm assuming the "traditional groove" is the normal half circle cutout? Yes, I could make them, but I'd imagine they'd rather go with a mass produced arm, since it is not a high stress part.
