N:B The Gold panel type 20-40mm sleeve (G:219) version sized letterbox dimensions are slightly different to all the other letterboxes and the overall length is 10mm longer (screw fix dim = 287mm, sleeve length = 273mm, total overall length = 316mm) You can then use the face fix screw holes if you wish. With regard to the big anti vandal metal lug this is removable by simply resting the back of it on a firm base and firmly knocking the letterbox casing down with a firm tap (not an hammer) this will allow the sleeve to slide out of the hexagonal fixing position. It is quite normal to have to either adapt the existing cut out slightly to make the new fit and again it may mean that the screw positions are in a different position slightly. To this end it is almost impossible to provide an exact dimension match and all companies nominally state letterboxes as either 10 inch or 12 inch but these are not exact dimensions. Over the years the manufacture of letterboxes keep changing to suit styles and shapes. The dimensions we show are good Approximate Dimensions.
New gold medalists include golfer Justin Rose, who lives in a riverside flat in Putney, the lucky devil. For starters, 2016 has seen new gold medals for Charlotte Dujardin, Mo Farah, Andy Murray, Pete Reed and Joanna Rowsell (now Joanna Rowsell-Shand). If Royal Mail changes its mind, it'll need to buy a few pots of paint for the London area. The scheme was, apparently, a one-off gesture to celebrate our role of host nation in 2012. Sadly, Royal Mail has decided not to commemorate the 2016 champions with gold post boxes.
