Threaded bits for p90s

Skodadad

I saw a photo of a guitar body that had some threaded bits in the cavity for the height adjustment screws on a p90.
My pickup came with wood screws not these things. Does anyone know what they are called I'd prefer them I think. Cheers

Threaded inserts.

They're actually less good than the woodscrews though, so don't bother. They have a habit of allowing the screws to vibrate loose so the pickup works itself out of the recess.

Cheers @Icbm, just wanted to do a proper job but good to know I already was.

On the same theme, anyone know where you can get a mounting bracket for a mini-humbucker.... Or even better one of the ones that's tapped for mini-hums or P-90's.

They aren't hard to make and you can find diagrams and dimensions on the web. I fabricated a couple from aluminium bar.

yeah, thats what I was going to do but I was surprised none seem to be available. its this version i would prefer

but f I make some I will probably just go with the more usual bar

I noticed wilkinson make some rings with screw holes in two of the corners - seems like such a good idea but i couldm't bring my self to do it - like this
