Hi Ludovic and welcome! I see some very interesting builds in your pictures, wow!
The last photo is the best one! (reminds me of my black cat I had for 17 years, living in Amsterdam).
Bon chance avec votre Mosrite project

Ludo, nice to see you here! I've followed your builds on the offset guitar forum, so I'm sure you'll make a sharp Mosrite clone, and keep us all informed on the progress.

For vibratos, you've got a couple of choices. You can occasionally find vintage originals, but they're usually expensive. Hallmark guitars makes a "half plate" version which you can order from Bob Shade here on the forum. More authentic are the M3 full plate vibratos, and there happens to be one up on ebay now:

Raygun85 here on the forum is the guy to talk to about M3 parts.

Beautiful work on those guitars! Welcome to the forum.

thanks Mel for all this information
in fact doing the trem is the challenge on is build (like on the XII)
i haven't think they were available
with my friend who have made my XII bridge we think about this ( he will build a mosrite too) i try to make the design and fonctionnal drawing and after he will machine the parts there is no difficulty if you have machine to do this (by hand it is another story )
at this time i don't know if i prefer half or complete bridge i have to think again
we must try and if it didn't works we have a spare solution
