Remember that the screws don't go in very far, mine are not much further in than your long one and I only used 3 springs.
I would also be looking at a right angle chuck rather than a super long drill bit

I've had to screw the claw plate almost all the way in to get it to clear the cover plate
That being the case I reckon you'll use 2 springs and 13s to get the Trem off the body
yeah, I'm not too fussed on losing trem usability as I don't really use it, but I have got myself a right angle driver adaptor for next time
One thing I did discover during this exercise is the allparts trem cover I bought has different spacing on the string holes than the Babicz bridge. The PBG one matches but is the wrong color. At this point I'm probably going to grab the one off my Squier strat as that looks like it'll be fine and I'm assuming they've done a much neater job on the trem cavity than I have so it wont be needed there.
If not planning to use the Trem just screw the claw in nice and tight as this also helps with improving sustain too.

Question, with applying the Dingotone with the body attached to holder by the neck holes, should I back and make sure the bits that are covered are touched up or will I be fine to just leave them? It will be covered by the neck plate.
