tremolo arm for sustain block tremolo not easy to find or retrofit

i can drill a bigger hole in the block and put in a FR arm

but........

i'd rather find kinder gentler way

does anyone have a pic of the arm so i can try to make one

or even have an extra !!

DO NOT DRILL OUT THE BLOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To make a good metric replacement:

One generic screw in Floyd Rose arm (M6 thread)

A M6 die

M6 10mm nut

M6 10mm nyloc nut

M6 nylon washers

You have to cut the thread further up the arm to about 10mm from the top because you need a lot more thread than a Floyd arm has.

Put the nut on and tighten hard right to the top of the new thread. Put on nylon washer.

Thread through the hole.

From the back put on another washer and then the nyloc nut and tighten to taste. The nyloc nut will not loosen and the nylon washers provide movement.

EASY!

You can make an imperial thread one (you funny Americans seem to call this SAE!) but you need a Kahler bass trem arm and I don't know the thread/nut size.

Yup. Do not alter the bridge. Alter a new arm.
