I recently purchased an Audio-Technica BP4025 microphone.
I tried to fit it on a 21mm Rycote BBG Basket Windshield, but it was too tight. The microphone head touches the internal mesh.

I read this while looking for another solution.
I'm going to buy an Audio-Technica BPF-2 Universal Windshield soon and put it into the supplied foam windscreen(AT8172).

Anyway, I would like you to let me know if there is another Windshield that can replace BPF-2.
Also, I wonder if there is a replacement for the AT8172 foam windscreen.

Thanks.

I took out the rubber grommet that was inserted into the BBG and cut off the inner part about 5mm.
Now, BP4025 fits comfortably. :)
