Mini Baseplates that take standard bucker mount screws

[Zhangliqun]

All the ones I've found take larger screws. Anybody know where to get some that take the same mount screws as full size humbuckers?

Funny I was just thinking about this
I have a bunch of mini humbucker screws from Mojotone that don't fit the baseplates from Mojotone
so all my mini baseplates from mojo use a standard 3-48 humbucker screw

I just bought some mini humbucker baseplates from Mojo about a month and a half ago and they have the same threads for the pickup height mounting screw as the Allparts ones that I was using before. It is a 3mm x0.5mm thread. Allparts didn't have the mounting screws so I have been using some 30mm long stainless ones from BoltDepot. They don't look too bad, but I see that Mojo has the nickel 3mm ones now, which might look a little better.

I like the 4x40x1-1/4 stainless I get at Micro Fastners.
I have a 4x40 tap I use.
I use them for most everything.

I thought it was quite funny ,I had these slightly larger screws from Mojo for minibuckers that don't fit anything
All my mini/firebird parts was purchased about a year ago so who knows

There may be a misunderstanding here. I'm not talking about the 6 pole screws but the 2 mount screws.

& that's what I was referring to the mounting screws that go through the legs

I was talking about the 2 mounting screws in my post also. Evidently at one time the Mojo parts that copperheadroads got took the standard humbucker mount screws 3-48 UNC, but the ones I got a couple of months ago are like yours with the larger M3-0.5 metric thread, which is the same as the Allparts baseplates have too.

[Zhangliqun]

My misunderstanding then. Where can these plates with the 3-48 mount holes be found?

[copperheadroads]

Ok here's the deal ,Mojotone actually carries 2 different mini baseplates
the vintage long leg (which is the style I have) uses the standard 3-48 humbucker mounting screw .In the link ,look at the parts list below plate
Mojotone Nickel Silver Long Leg Mini Humbucker Frame 50mm (1.97'')
The other mini baseplate is a short leg style that uses m3 screws
Mojotone Nickel Silver Short Leg Mini Humbucker Frame 50mm (1.97'')
