Changing Dunlop straplocks to Warwick

KsPiNeSh · #1 07-17-2009, 06:06 PM

My 1999 Corvette came today (with wenge!!!) and has the old Dunlop straplocks on it. As I already have the straplocks for my '06 Corvette on my strap and I have a spare set of the new Warwick straplocks, I'm looking at changing out the Dunlops, which would allow me to switch basses while using the same strap. Anyone have any wisdom to share before I go at it? Muchas gracias!

Are the Dunlops the flush mounted ones?
If so,you'll have to fill the holes with some dowel,& re-drill to fit your current strap pins.

No, they were the skinny ones that were external. After discovering that the old screws were larger than the ones currently used, I just fileddown the locks themselves to fit into the pegs. Works like a charm
