Does anyone make...

Does anyone make an ashtray style bridge that fits a humbucker? I could swear I've seen one before, back when I wasn't interested in one, but now that I'm actually considering a humbucker Tele build, I can't seem to find it.

Maybe it didn't actually exist and I'm just crazy.

I have never seen one.

Dale Clark (Glendale Guitars) makes a "Strait Plate" which takes a specially made HB pickup that mounts at 90 degrees. These plates are very costly (there's a big cut in there for The Reverend) and the pickup can't be cheap, either. I bleev an ashtray cover could be modded to fit over all that, as long as money is being spent so freely.

Seen flat plate humbucker Tele bridges but no ash trays.
There's the Wilkinson vintage style short bridge which can be used with a separate humbucker mounting ring. It would need a Trembucker type pup with 53mm string spacing.

For what it's worth the strate-plate has gone down in price and now costs the same as Glendale's other bridges. Glendale also used to make a bridge with a humbucker routing but bizarre pickup mounting holes.

I know there was a build thread somewhere where someone cut two holes in an ashtray bridge for the humbucker tabs and it didn't look too bad

Pretty sure that's all that's been tried in this realm so far.

I believe Tuxedo Poly has the correct answer.
