Hey, RIch.   Mine was a retrofit and it just fit nicely glued to the neck with a cutout big enough for the small part to fit through the box.   Maddog could give you insight.   I think he carefully trimmed some off.

Do you have a photo of the pickup you have Richard? I'll have a look and see if we can figure something out.

Here is a pic of the way I mounted mine:

This is the pickup before I trimmed it, the bottom piece of wood and top were basically the same size therefore I could not drop it down through a hole in the box. I tipped it up on edge and trimmed the bottom on my bandsaw to make the bottom piece smaller. Just watch that you don't cut the copper leads.

Thanks, Pat.   Good wishes Rich.  Be careful.   I kind of forget on mine.  I think I cut the whole close and fitted the top of the pickup from underneath.
