Spring Bars for on Gen 1675 on 6251H/55

Does anyone know what the correct spring bars should be for a Genuine 6251H Jubilee with 55 endlinks on a Genuine 1675.  I went to swap between an Oyster with the 2mm Spring Bars (same ones used on Subs 1680, etc) and the spring bars are too thick to slide through the hollow mid links of the 6251.  It is as if it needs 1.8mm bars but the 1.8's that I have do not 'fill out' to edge of the lug holes a bit to short.

 

Thanks!

Genuine 1675 watches that came with jubilee bracelets had the same bracelet as a DJ except for different bracelet hoods made to accept submariner type spring bars and the last center link on each end of the bracelet was made to accept the larger spring bar.  They also had different reference numbers. 

 

You can push a 2mm pin through the end links of a standard jubilee to make them accept the larger spring bars.  Slightly taper the end of the pin and use grease to keep it from binding.  Put a spacer of some sort between the two loops of the center links when pressing a pin through them to avoid bending the links.  Make a spacer out of a piece of aluminum etc with a 2mm+ hole in it.

 

WSO 990 has aftmkt 1675/16750 jubilee type hoods for $24.95...eBay item number  161040367611

You can use standard rlx 55xx/1680 etc spring bars on GMTs.

Any jubilee made for a 16750 will also fit a 1675.
