What direct mount pickup screws do you use?

[Shask]

I got some new Duncan pickups for a Kiesel, but I am afraid to use the factory screws because I am afraid they will be too long. However, I have never saw these for sale at places like Stew-mac.

For those of you who have bought these.... what did you use, and where did you get them? Or, do you know the size to look for?

Thanks!

Schaller's 2.2mm screws are great, but you can just use a nut between the screw head and the pickup tab to effectively shorten your stock screws.

this is a good way to direct mount a humbucker without ruining it's ability to be ring mounted:

Its a #2 x 3/4 pan head sheet metal screw. Ring mount screws are #3.

Hope that's helpful

Now don't forget to do this for your control cavities as well! It's really nice considering how much you might be removing the back plates.

When I got my D Activators off ebay, there was one screw that was a bit long, so I just used a metal file and chopped off part of the screw.
