Thanks spankdplank.
The magnets really don't need to be threaded. There's no reason why I couldn't simply take alnico V rod and press it in like a Strat or Tele pup. In fact, the WR bobbins appear to be pretty close to the same width as a Tele bridge pickup bobbin. The Tele bobbin is taller though.
I'm trying to find as many "off the shelf" or standardized sizes as possible for this project. Using unthreaded rod magnets isn't a real big deal because all you'd lose is the ability to adjust the height of the individual magnets. Strats and Teles have been getting along fine for several years without that feature!
I still have a few RFQ's out so the CuNiFe is not a total dead issue yet but, the more I research this, the more findings indicate that alnico V magnets would be a better choice anyway.
