Source for bridge cover?

[Smokymoments]

I am restoring a mid 60s/early 70s short scale Matsumoku-made bass and am having a hard time sourcing a bridge cover. The mounting holes are 98mm apart and all the P Bass style covers I am finding have spacing of about 120 mm. Any help? Thanks!

Try a a '51 P Bass cover.

Thanks! I saw that on Amazon and my only concern is the spacing of the mounting screws. They don't specify the distance between them and all the other covers I've found that do give dimensions are too wide. I may have to just bite the bullet and order this and hope for the best. I appreciate the input!

That one is very malleable. To get the holes closer you just bend the bridge around your fingers, as you raise the height you close the distance between the holes.

That works! Thanks
