Hey, i recently got a Mirage I without a proper trem bar. I'd like to order a replacement -- what should I order? It's a 94 with a Wilkinson bridge. Thanks for the help ... Morris

 
I have trem bars coming out the wazoo, so if someone know what the diameter on the bars is, I can check to see if one of mine would fit and send it off to you.

Thanks Austin. I'm happy to pay you. Can someone let us know the correct diameter?

If it is the same trem as what is on a Daytona, the bar diameter is 4.76 mm or 3/16 in. I had to purchase a steel rod to replace the missing trem arm on my Daytona, and that size rod fits perfectly.

I think it's smaller. I have a Daytona, and a bar that fits the Daytona doesn't fit the Mirage.

O.k., that's weird, because they should have the exact same trem?!?

I know -- but I tried each of the trem bars from the Daytona ( that you sent me -- /emoticons/default_biggrin.png ) and none fit.

I seem to remember that there was just a slight difference in the diameter of the bars and that some Daytona bars would not fit my Mirage II (which has since moved on to another home). I remember it was pretty close (wonder if it was a plating issue or something - plating on the bars and plating down the trem arm hole causing it to not fit. I thought some bridges had a set-screw that tweaked a bushing to put a little drag on the bar and hold it in place).

I built some bars out of stainless steel precision ground bar stock, and I know those fit Daytonas but I can't recall if I ever tried them in my Mirage back when I owned it. PM me if you want me to send out a few blanks or bent bars out of my leftover materials (no charge, but I get to building them when I can lol).

 
I've got a bar that Stonge made that I'm not using. Send me your shipping address and I'll send it your way.

I think I have one of the short, "palm" bars, too. If I can find it, I'll throw it in there.

 
It certainly doesn't make any sense that the bars would be a different diameter but it seems some don't fit others...

FYI... I have 7 Mirages and 3 Daytonas and they all seem to play nicey-nice with each other as far as bar swapping goes.

 
atquinn's Daytona was once mine.

It had three bars: a factory Wilky bar and the two Stongemon bars (long and palm bar).

I did not realize the vintage type Wilkys on Mirages were different in any way at all. I learn something every day.

Is there a Stongemon-or-otherwise bar that's slightly smaller in diameter so it hangs out of the way versus staying in place? If so, I'd like one of those.
