i took down a sinclair gas sign post at an old station last week..i have a dino sign i thought would fit in it, but it measures 84 in. across, does`nt appear it will fit in the post frame...i read in scott bejamins sinclair book that they made 72 inch signs and smaller but does`nt mention 84 in. signs..anybody got any knowledge on these signs and posts...thanks,ron

The ones that are 5' tall are 7' wide. Maybe you could get the ebay seller to double check the dimensions.

COULD IT BE THAT THE FRAME JUST NEEDS TO BE FLEXED A BIT DOWNWARD TO ALLOW AN 84" SIGN TO FIT?
I ASKED THE SELLER TO RE-MEASURE THEIR SIGN...STILL HAVE NOT HEARD BACK.

HERE IS THE SELLER S RESPONSE:
"I was just taking a close guess on the size. I dont have any way of measureing it. It is very big."
FUNNY HOW SOME PEOPLE HAVE A HUGE SINCLAIR SIGN LYING AROUND BUT NOT A TAPE MEASURE IN SIGHT! LOL!!
