it is possible to machine a post that can be held in by a screw.  that means drilling out the old post.  we had to do that a while back.  we are talking about more machine shop time. 

Bridge plates are flat and can be cut, I have a 99 plate drawn up now.  The shaft can be pressed in and TIG welded to the back.
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

I'm saving my pennies for a TIG welder.

I'm seeing more and more of these smaller posts, maybe because of George and Twopatch...they got me looking ;D.
Alan, wouldn't it be easier if the machinist could make a run of these? What would be the least he could make? I wouldn't mind having some on the side, for when I need them. I don't believe they're any weaker than the thicker posts, they're the same at the base, that's where most of the stress would be. Just a thought :-\

George, have you noticed the metal post in the older plate,  by the dog spring? They don't make them like they used to :-\.
I've been fixing the Squidders the same way (great minds think alike) ::)... ;D
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Alan, do you have four of these 98-60AT coarse thread sleeves available?

I got a used bridge from Dan,Really-gone. He also sent me a new one. I put the two of them together and they were slightly different. The new one has a part # stamped up side down,so it is acctually a 3-66. I can see how it got mixed up. I am waiting for a responce from Dan. The S.S. 98-505 fits perfectly,This narrow 259 is comming together nicely. I will try to post a photo soon.   

alantani

yeah, i checked and did not have any bridges of that size.
