Jazzmaster Trem unit fitting!!!!!!!

Righto, i now have 3 Jazzmaster/Jaguar Trem units, for ongoing projects, I'm using 3 guitarbuild bodies that have no holes to pop
the trem onto and all bar one of the units is a loose fit, kinda wobbly a bit in the cavity. How do you fit a trem on one of
these without a degree in technical drawing?

    As long as all the moving parts clear the sides of the cavity, the screws are roughly equally far away from the edges of the hole and it looks like it's in the right place and square to the guitar, it doesn't matter.

    One of the great advantages of it from Fender's point of view was exactly that it *didn't* need great accuracy in installation.
