Pickup screws

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi,

Does anyone know where I can find 45mm (1 3/4in) by 2.5mm (3/32ths of an inch I think) preferably in the UK but if I have to I will go for overseas.
I have searched high and low but only been able to find 36mm screws at longest.

thanks,
Tom

I just ran into that problem myself. I could not get the pick up high enough and could not find screws long enough. What I did was to glue little blocks of wood into the pick up cavity and ran the screws into them, then added more foam under the pick up.

In inch terms that would be a 3 X 1-3/4" Phillips Round Wood Screw. 45mm = 1.77 inches
