Neck Plate for Bolt on Neck

[miguel2u]

How thick is the neck plate for Fender style bolt on bass necks?

I have a project bass that needs a plate. I have a friend with a machine shop so the metal and metalwork are not problems.

Here's what I found:

The plate is 2" x 2-1/2" (50.80mm x 63.50mm). Mounting holes are spaced 1-1/2" x 2" (38.10mm x 50.80mm) center-to-center. Drill 1/8" (3.00mm) diameter holes in the neck, and 3/16" (4.75mm) diameter holes in the body.
