... must I drill out the control plate holes to get them in?
Yup, that's a common issue when upgrading an import to USA parts. Drill, ream, or file... or get a new control plate.

I will leave the bridge full and shunt the humbucker.
OK, here ya go:



Use your stock 250K volume for now, the 500K p/p is a good choice for the tone pot. Since you are leaving the bridge pup as a humbucker full time, solder its red and white lead together and tape them off so that they don't short out on anything in the control cavity.
