I bought it off here for a Yamaha Pacifica but it doesn't fit (the Pacifica is even narrower!) so I am moving it on as it's no use to me.

I have these which do not have a steel block and are both 54mm (10.8) trem screw mount and saddle width in chrome.

There are a number of trems with vintage mounting (56.3mm) but 'modern' 52.5mm string spacing, such as the Callaham vintage modern, Wudtone again, and the trem on second generation Fender Highway One guitars and the outgoing American Special (not sure about the new Performers) - they occasionally appear 2nd hand, but the baseplate is chrome (with nickel saddles). I think the block on these is leaded steel (like the Wilkinson), but definitely a significant step up from zinc, if not quite as fantastic as Callaham, Hurley or Wudtone.
There are also the ABM 5050 series trems in various mounting styles (52.5mm, 56.3mm, and two post) which have 53mm string spacing. Again, the baseplates are chrome with nickel saddles.
If you have a 54mm spaced trem and want to change the saddles there are limited options. Wilkinson, Wudtone and Highwood for vintage stamped steel. Quite a few places do stainless block saddles and Rockinger sell some brass block saddles, but that's about it. If you think you might want to mess with saddles, or blocks, you would be better off with a trem with a string spacing of either 52.5mm or the vintage 56.3mm. And of course, it should go without saying that you should check what mounting spacing you need - I've assumed you need a vintage mounting of approx 56.3mm
