My only concern is I don't have the exact length of the original arm to replicate it exactly. Can anybody kind enough to provide the measurement from one hole to the other hole of the arm? My arm is the type with holes at both ends, not the type with one hole and one ball joint. Many thanks!

why don't you buy a new arm???? It will fall off again as the ball joint will be worn . I would visit a model engineering shop and find some metal ball joint/arm and make a modification .. or you could make some kind of clip to stop it falling off , volvo do a kit for this a pin and lock washer ..
