“Correct” setup for 510 to float?

[PFDarkside]

I’ve got a lot of experience with tremolos, I’ve setup Floyds, 6 screws and 2 posts. My favorite 2-post was the old Fender Floyd Deluxe Plus locking tremolo combined with the micro tilt, I could get the tremolo parallel with the body but sitting high enough to pull up/dive.

So I know how to achieve most things with a tremolo setup, but I’d love to see some images of what a proper setup with a floating 510 looks like and how much pull-up you can get. On the old Fender Floyd I got 3 semitones on the G, 2 on B and 1 on E.

(I’m basically deciding 510 vs. semi-recessed Wilkinson route. I’d love a semi-recessed 510 like the Charvel DK24 and Ibanez AZ, but that’s not in the cards for Warmoth apparently)

If you check out some of my build threads you should see some photos that should give you an idea. Quilted Purple Strat, and the Green Mahogany strat although it uses a different bridge it uses a Gotoh 510 posts and rout so is fairly similar.
