Vibramute

HI
Does anyone know how to get precise info on assembling a vibramute out of Mosrite parts? Old Photos or drawings of how it is all put together.

Not sure I understand your question. Are you referring to assembling a Vibramute guitar with the Vibramute vibrato system that has the single bar aluminum bridge with the flip up mute, or are your referring to assembling the Vibramute vibrato assembly from miscellaneous parts?

If you look around the website here there are numerous photo's depicting both Vibramute guitars as well as vibramute vibrato assemblies. Maybe try the search feture at the top of the page.

+1 on Danny's remarks. At one time Mel posted the patent documents, which has an exploded view of the trem system.

I have some of the parts so I´m looking to buy the missing parts. I only have the basic part that sit right on the body of the guitar. Maybe a better option just to buy a whole new vibramute.
But where to find it? I have tried the new kurakomu website but the parts section doesn´t really seem to work. Any idea of how to fairly cheap vibramute these days. Ed Romans parts are extremely expensive?

I don't think there's such a thing as a cheap Vibramute, but you can probably get parts to complete yours from Bob Shade at Hallmark Guitars. He's a great guy, and a great resource for parts ... His link should be in the Links of Interest section ...
