User Plowhorse may have a spare set to sell you. They had more than one issue with these cranks not holding up.
based upon the 382 gram weight of captain’s crank, I’d bet 832 is within 50 grams or so without chainrings or bbs, given that the stoker’s s crank would only add one spider to the weight of the captain’s.

However, Lightning’s website claims that 832 with bb’s which I don’t see, if the weight of our captain’s crank is representative.
