    Holes in Tele baseplates

    Could any of you guys tell me what tap to use in a telecaster bridge baseplate so that it'll take a standard screw? I has a suspicion it was 4BA but that somehow doesn't look right ... Help!

    Thanks ... that sorts out the size ... sadly being in the UK, UNC screws are as rare as rocking horse droppings. Still I can tap the holes that's something!
