hummermark Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 You wouldn’t have the measurements for the B167A was wondering if they were the same external? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnixartillery Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 The only Difference between the B167 and B167A is the internal fittings ,no differencs in size. Rob................rnixartillery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hummermark Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 Ok thanks for that 👍 I can stick with my B167 knowing that the footman loops have been put in the wrong space! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
