Tele Bridge Pickup Help Needed

[ejko]

Working on first build, so this may be a stupid question.

Ran in to a snag when I tried to mount the bridge pickup to the tele bridge.  I'm using a brand new Rio Grande Vintage Tallboy tele bridge single coil.  My problem is that the three mounting holes in the baseplate of the pickup are all 1/4" diameter.  There are no other parts with the pickup.  How/to what do I attach the 6/32 mounting screws/springs?  Am I missing someparts?

Thanks!

Are the holes in the pickup baseplate threaded?

No, not threaded.  Just straight through 1/4" holes!

I'm not seeing how that would work...

It's possible the pickup is missing the threaded inserts, or the pickup is intended to to be EVH mounted like the Tom Anderson models.  Either way, it sounds like it's not what you wanted and won't work.  Send it back.

Talked to the guys at Rio Grande today.  They could not have been more helpful... they're sending me the missing parts and offered to walk me though their installation. 

A real class act company!
