Wilkinson TW5 Bridge Parts

Does anyone know where i can find replacement parts for a Wilkinson TW Bridge? I am in need of some bridge intonation screws and i have know idea where to find them, or even what size. photo.jpg My guitar tech thought they might be the same size as Stratocaster tremlo screws, but the threads on this bridge are slightly smaller.


thanks for your help!

I'm in the middle of replacing all the worn and rusted parts on this bridge. The eight set screws in the back I got from Ace Hardware.The long screws are 4-40 x1inch socket head cap screws which came from Mcmaster-Carr.The height adjustment screws are 6-32 3/8 which is coming from Fastenall. The 4 springs...I took out of ink pens and painted them black.The pieces that the height adjustment screws are in I stripped off the paint and buffed with steel wool exposing the brass. The 4 pieces that hold the strings I sand blasted and painted them flat black. I'll post pics when done...Mark

Zombie threads FTW!
I have the same bridge and I was going crazy finding the right components!
So to quickly recap, per EACH individual saddle assembly: 1 of 4-40 x 1" for intonation, plus 3 of 6-32 3/8 for string height (2 of them) and saddle "lock" (the other), correct?
