I'd look for a clarinet repair shop that has selection of different MPs and can either find you a different MP (maybe a non-13 series BD5) that would work on your instruments or shorten the barrel of your A.

An advice form a highly qualified tech who also plays clarinet cannot be underestimated. At least that was my personal experience.
