Plate to convert 2 hole Humbucker pickup to 3 hole fender

i want to replace the fender 3 hole Shawbuckers on my fender pro Tele deluxe with standard 2 hole mounting pickups. For cosmetic reasons I don’t want to drill another hole in the plate. Does anyone make any little adapter plates I could screw in the single screw hole on the pickup to give an extra hole either side and so fit the existing scratchplate.  Hoe that makes sense

    What is the distance between the screws on the “two screws” end of the Shawbuckers?

    Some aftermarket humbuckers, destined for Stratocasters, have short elevator screw lugs with three threaded screw holes at each end. 

    Hopefully, these will align perfectly with the existing holes drilled through your stock pickguard.
    You say, atom bomb. I say, tin of corned beef.

    It shouldn't be too difficult to make one, you just need a bit of aluminium sheet and drill and tap it for 3 screws.
