What size bridge do I get for my Tele?!!

[StrangeDay]

Hi,
I just ordered a J5 Telcaster!!
http://www.fender.com/products/show.php?partno=0155000
Though mine is not the Custom shop version, it should still be a nice axe!

I already have a Tele (as you can see in my avatar), but what I want now is a Les Paul type of guitar with a Tele body, which will be what I will convert the J5 into. Oh yeah...I had a question!

I will install a BIgsby Vibrato tail piece on the Tele. But I need to buy the correct size Tune-o-matic bridge. What size do I get? I presume I would need the wider spread for a Fender axe. Am I correct?!!

What do they mean by small and large posts? Thanks.

Thit is the Bigsby you need...as for the Tele bridge for a Bigsby...this has nothing to do with a tune-o-matic, it is a Telecaster bridge made for a Bigsby, and has a Jazzmaster style bridge on it. The point is I don't know where to get one. This is maybe a little bit of help unless I misunderstood your question.

As for the post I have no idea what you are talking about

This Bigsby at musician's friend is a lot cheaper:

But I want to remove the steel plate bridge that surrounds the humbucker, and instead mount the pup around a small mounting ring. This means that I will need the Tune-o-matic bridge (or other bridge) to guide the strings. The only problem now is that I need to make sure I buy the correct size. Hope that makes sense.

If the pic is working, you can see an example of what I want to do.
