'A' Post Modifications

The new 'A' posts that we bought turned out to be the pattern for 1953-55 ones. The change is very minor and hardly spotted until you know what you are looking for.

Below are photos of the LHS 'A' post before we modified it:

On the return lip, the earlier 'A' post has an almost right-angle shaped lip rather than it being flush. Here's the other side now modified to the correct pattern:

The new metal you can see protrudes 7mm from the back of the seal holder strip. The later version from mid 1953 - 1955 was virtually flush

Thanks to 'lowdowndirtyrat' on SSVC for the info before it was too late!!
