More bits arrived today, from Ace guitar parts:
Lining up OK,except for the string through holes. Strings do go through, though:

G'day Thunderbird. Looking good so far (and bringing on a sense of deja-vu).Originally Posted by Thunderbird
I reported in another thread that the Wilkinson Tele bridge is 10mm shorter than a Squier version and doesn't cover the string-through holes.
cheers, Mark.
It covers them fine, Mark, I just drilled them badlyLuckily the bridge plate covers my sloppy work
You must mean the modern type bridge. My Wilkinson, Fender MIJ and Squier '62 Custom's ashtray type bridges are exactly the same dimensions.
D'oh!!!It covers them fine, Mark, I just drilled them badly
BTW to cover the sloppy string through holes on the back, I got one of these.

cheers, Mark.
Thanks for that MarkI might get that for this build, and save the single ferrules for something else.
Today I found out that the local mechanic has a drill press, so I decided to fill and drill.
Lucky it's going to be a solid colour:
