Hamer SSII - Screw Sizes?? / How is the Single Coil Pickup Mounted??

[whatthefetch]

I'm in the process of putting together a Steve Stevens SSII body and neck. I'm currently sourcing the parts for it and also need to know what size screws are used for the items listed below. I would really appreciate any information that any of the Hamer experts could offer..

Truss Rod Cover - Screw Size?

Rear Back Plates - Screw Size?

Also for the Single Coil, I can't tell how its mounted, there must be a bracket or something attached to the back of the factory pickup that raised it up. It appears to be mounted by a machine screw approximately size 3-48, but I can't seem to find one that fits quite right?? Help??

my ssI has springs under the single coil that have the screw through the pup and in to a brass threaded piece in the body....and the spring under the pup pushes it up.

fretsonthenet.com is where I been getting all my hamer parts..I have ordered from dave few times in the last couple months...he has pickup screws and springs.

That how I was going to try and install it. I just can't seem to find the right size screw to fit the threaded piece in the body. Are the springs the similar to the ones used with humbucker pickup rings? I would think they would need to be smaller and wider to keep the pickup level..

Dave at FretsontheNet has been a huge help. He is working on the cavity plates and the tremolo cover for me. I will check with him..

Thanks for the reply!

They are the same size around but about 60% shorter...here is bucker springs and screws...the single screws are bigger diameter.

I thought it might be the standard size screws used on single coil, but all the ones I tried are too big. I have a lot screws in the parts bin and I just cant seem to find the right one.... Just hoping someone might know the exact screw size... I have know Idea what to order... Thanks for the picture thats a big help!

They are #4-40 - a pain in the arse to find over here but should be plentiful that side of the pond.

Thanks, thats what I ordered! Good to know I guessed right..... You would happen to know how long. I have a 1/2" on order thinking I don't need to raise the neck pickup that much..

The neck pickup mounting screws in my SSII are 7/8" long.
