Still need PRO STAFF MIDSIZE (St Vincent) grommets

[Dennis Chan]

I was (and still am) looking for grommets for my St Vincent PRO STAFF. I called Wilson Chicago according to a reply to an earlier post of mine. They were really helpful and responsive and I got my shipment in two days. However...

The package I got says "PRO STAFF MIDSIZE REPLACEMENT PARTS STOCK# Z7156". I found that the contents within are identical to those currently sold at TW, except that the part for the 6 o'clock position comes in three small parts in the former. The TW one has "PRO STAFF 6.0 G&B 85 REPLACEMENT PARTS STOCK# G5914" on the package.

So despite the different package descriptions, I still only have new grommets for my Chinese PS 6.0 85. Please I need the true/real St Vincent ones, those without a bumper guard. Can anyone help please? Thanks.

Well do either of the parts you received (from TW, or Wilson) fit on your St. Vincent? Or are you only having problems fitting the parts for the throat? What are the differences in the grommet spaces for the St. Vincent, and China model you currently have? I have also heard the Chicago models are different than both.

In addition, I have also heard that St. Vincent models (very early) are like the Chicago models, in that they do not have the bumper guard. Which one do you have?

Drakulie,

All the grommets sets I have only fit the Chinese PS 6.0 85. Not one fits the St Vincent. Needless to say the grommets space on both is different. The St Vincent does not have a bumper. It has three long stripes of grommets (from 10 to 2, then from 7 to 10 and 2 to 5 o' clock positions) and a small one at 6 o'clock.
