I'm almost certain there is no other compatible insert to fit the Mosrite elevating screw. What if someone in the US bought it and sent it to you. Would you still have to pay taxes or duties on it?

Now that I think of it, Hallmark inserts and posts are the same size as Mosrite. Contact Bob Shade, a member of this forum and owner of Hallmark.

I'm pretty sure the threading on the Hallmark stuff is metric, so you'd need the posts and the thimbles.

Wonderful! Just one or two more parts (bridge cover, volume knob, posts & inserts) and she will look 'factory fresh'.
The main thing though is that you can play it. The refinish is really stunning :shock:
