plastic surgery (on Pickup)

Rainer Schmidt · From: Eastwestfalia - Germany

Hi. as you can see, the cracked screw plates on these pickups are about to let them float:

do any of you know what to use for making replcement plastic caps? (there is little space between coil and strings btw.)
thanks a lot.

Its hard to tell, but it looks like the mounting tabs were / are part of the bobin base.
Short of re-building and re-winding the pickups, maybe a piece of molded plastic with tabs that went over the pickup to "capture" it might work.
A clear or solid color acrylic would work and is fairly easy to find. With the ends left open it should be a pretty easy part to make.
This quick drawing might explain it a bit better.
