I'm installing a Hipshot 2 point trem into (what I believe is) a Standard American Strat that I've painted for a customer. The pivot posts for the Hipshot are smaller than the stock Fender posts so I'm having to pull and install the inserts that came with the Hipshot. However, after getting a small portion of the stock Fender insert proud of the body I used my calipers to measure the OD of it and it is 10mm...the Hipshot inserts measure about 9.67 OD!! This confirms what I was certain I could simply see when comparing them visually. Hipshot sells this, I think, as a drop in replacement and they clearly aren't.
So I'm looking for anyone who has encountered this problem with a Hipshot bridge. There are really only a few possible solutions to this problem that are obvious to me. Has anyone else encountered this problem with a 2 Point Hipshot Strat trem?
