The replacement electrodes are identical to the old ones. However, they do not work. Bought a new ignighter from the same company and it is generating a spark from all points except from the two new electrodes. At least I can manually light the grill.

I purchased 3 of these electrode replacements for my Brinkmann Pro 2700 Series with 6 burners. The replacement was a perfect fit for the center electrode. I did have to cut the metal channel on the two outer electrodes as the distance between burners wasn't as large as the center. Thanks to other reviews here on Amazon, I was expecting this. I used the old, rusted out channels as templates and with the help of my Dremel tool had the new channels cut to fit in about 10 minutes.

With my grill I did have to drill new holes to mount the electrodes as they didn't line up with the factory holes. Fortunately the mounting bracket covered the factory holes, so I didn't have to worry about fire escaping the burner area.

The factory electrodes had a protective cover, woven from a fire-resistant material, to cover the connection of the igniter wire to the electrode. The replacement electrodes do not come with this material so you will have to re-use your existing covers.

As long as you don't mind a little do-it-yourself work to fit your application, this should work well for you.

I read other reviews before purchasing this replacement part. I have never before repaired a gas grill, and would simply replace it entirely over a repair. With access to the net and more information and replacement parts, this repair seemed simple enough and much more cost effective. The replacement part was very close to being identical to the original factory part. One reviewer said that the large pass through channel ". . . needed to be trimmed a little to fit. And a simple small hacksaw cut did the trick." He was correct. For me however, I used my dremel to trim approx. a 1/4 on one side and it fit nicely. My gas grill is up and running and now ready for the summer.

Work, but had to be cut down to fit between the burners. There may be the correct size out there, but these were the only ones of this type I could find. No problem--a minute with the hacksaw did the trick.
