Tele Neck PU in Humbucker cavity... how?

[Webfoot]

I have a tele neck pickup that I want to mount in a non-pickguard guitar neck position that had a humbucker. I cannot find any conversion rings that will use the four humbucker neck holes and provide a single coil slot that is sized for a tele. I can find them for strats... but not teles. Does anyone make these?

I hope it helps.
It is just one of the countless variations they provide, so check the store.

Interesting but they don't specify if they fit Strat or Tele sized single coils.

That's true but I thought if it is Tele than no probs, if it is Strat then a tele neck pickup will fit though a little bit on the loose side.
I am planning to do the same as Webfoot so correct me if I guided him into the wrong direction.

Im guessing that might be for a strat and not a tele. I have one of these that is angled for a strat. While the one I have is oversized for a tele pickup, the top mounting strat holes are too wide for a tele.

I guess the one on ebay would work if you were not using the top two holes to mount the pickup and was mounting the tele pickup to the body wood.

I am surprised this does not exist anywhere.

Buy a cheap tele pickguard, place a HB pickup ring over it at the neck position, trace and cut the outline and drill 4 mounting holes and you are done
