The simplest thing would be to have cunife screws made,threaded to replace the steel screws in RI pickups, just remember to make them the correct length as per the originals. You'll sell a truckload of them. It would be easy enough for modders to remove the bar magnets,use shims in thier place, and install the new cunife screws.

From what I've been told, there is a piece, or small sheet of magnetic material that the bobbins rest on. I have not been able to get my hands on an original WRH to take it apart and see this for myself.
If it truly is a simple matter of replacing the threaded magnets, then I'm golden!
Anyone care to take a guess at the gaussing spec? And polarity of the originals?
I have the winding specs but don't know if the Re-issues match that spec. I'll have to pull one apart and see.
