Why do two types of conversion posts exist?
The type that looks like it will work is a concentric design having the larger diameter portion that threads into the body bushing, with the smaller diameter portion centered above it to accept the bridge.
The other type has the larger diameter portion and smaller diameter portion lined up along one side of the post, leaving the smaller portion off center. I don't understand how this would line up properly between the body bushings and the bridge.
I will obviously measure the span between the holes on my new bridge when it comes in, but I was trying to get a better understanding of what options are available to me. I am holding out on the dowel fill and redrill approach for the time being. I like to make changes one piece at a time so I can fairly evaluate change, if any. Thanks.
