Split coil pickup upgrades are too small.HELP?

[Bacowski]

I've been looking for split coil pickups for a while and have discovered some bass pickups worth their price however the sizes for screw hole spacing is weird as the ones I have eyes for are ones that fit the box size but not the screw bit pointing out. its too small 46mm whereas my old pickup nodes have a length of 60mm (around) and I'm wondering if it is worth drilling new screw holes as i cannot find any split coil pickups that fit my bass (Gear4Music Chicago bass [IK its cheap]) and I'm on a tight budget for pickups that fit (budget is £40)
the screw hole spacing has to be around 65mm and the length form node to node has to fit under 70mm. the link to the newer pickups is here
Invalid Link Removed (i haven't bought them yet I'm just wondering if drilling new holes is worth it).

I'm not sure I'm following... I think punctuation would help, for starters. And can you post pics of your bass and/or draw one, to show what you mean?

But, in short (and assuming I understood you), if you need to drill new holes for pickup screws, that's usually fine... it's more problematic when you need to rout a larger pickup cavity.

Drill the holes. It's just wood.

heres a pic of the screw nodes
another fact is the it would be longer lengthways so <-----> this way (i hope this helps)
that means there will be a gap if i used the new ones but yeah i hope this helps understand this situation

oh so you get what i was saying because when i read over it,it doesn't make sense but hopefully it should work.
