POLE PIECES!!!!! Why are they so hard to find? HELP plz.

Postby cmiller0034 » Sun Dec 01, 2013 10:03 pm

6-32 X 3/4" Phillips Fillister Screws. I believe these are the specs for Ventures model pickups. Why cant I find these things ANYWHERE? On Amazon you have to order like 2000 pieces at a time. Home depot and Lowes are a wasteland, you have to special order those. Besides, I don't think they are made out of the right kind of Steel. Can anyone confirm this? I got some polepieces for p90 pups but they are 5-40 size (too skinny) I think and most on eBay are for the P90s.

(I think these are the wrong material)


I need at least 36 Mosrite Pickup Polepieces to complete my Builds. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Are you looking for the 63 to 64 style or 65 and later?

I had no idea that different sized pole pieces were used Bob! What would you recommend? Something with a lil' kick if you know what I mean ;) The holes on the pup covers I purchased are about 5.82mm (0.229 in) in diameter but I can open them up a lil' for a bigger sound (If that even effects tone).

You got some to sell? or a source to share?

That measurement is way off. Try again.

Maybe these are not the right size pickup covers then. They certainly are not oem products. I used my 6in rule. And the holes are just under 6mm according to these crazy old eyes. Unless reality has just warped around me somehow the law gravity has reversed and there are tears in the fabric of space and time. Maybe I hit my head on a patch of ice years ago and I'm trapped in a fantasy of my own making, in which pup covers have holes which are approximately 6mm wide. Next you'll be telling me I cant fly and there's NOT a lake of licorice in my backyard. (joke)

I don't know what to tell you. What size are standard screw heads?
