Hi chaps
i'm trying to set up an old mid 80's Tokai custom edition strat
it has a Floyd Rose type trem ....and locking nut etc....
the problem i have is that the trem arm is missing (where do they all go?)
now....on the trem unit there's just a hole....no thread or bush or anything
i've just bought a floyd arm mail order ....however it's too big....i've since
found out that a floyd requires a 9.5mm hole... but mine looks to be about 7mm...
i thought about just drilling it out a bit bigger ....but it's just impractical
drilling thru 4mm of steel ...i feel like i'm wrecking the thing ...
basically my question is.... anybody know who made these original trems and if there is
a similar maker today...making spares....it just seems a shame to chuck the whole thing away
for the sake of a lost arm....any ideas ??
