I would sure like to find some nice shiny new covers for mine as the chrome has been corroded badly on my original covers.

I'd have mine replated but I'm worried that the FENDER engraving would be lost. Ideally I could find some new covers to put on the pups and put the originals aside for safe keeping.
I'd be surprised if using the same thread pitch as the originals would be critical, however if you're going through the step of threading the polepieces it would make sense to thread them the same as the originals.

If you can determine that the holes for the polepieces are compatible, how about trying a cover made for one of the reissues?
