This gives sizes of Dickson type posts, probably T2T

Rob, it's worthwhile putting something in a photo like that as a size comparison, for example a 6" rule. Ian S C

according to the Dickson type chart that Jason sent me, it works out as a T2T , why do you think it's an T2 NJH?

I said T2T, holders are also the right size, if you go to the section for buying holders it gives their sizes as they are not shown on the link above.
