    The internal threads should (in theory) be M8 if you want to reuse the same posts.

    From your pic, it looks like the bridge posts have a small post diameter for the bridge to suit a USA-style original TOM bridge, whilst the normal metric bridges generally have larger posts and corresponding larger holes in the bridge. So if you get metric size post bushings, you may need a whole new bridge and tailpiece to go with them.

    I lined the tailpiece and the bridge up using the posts/bolts that came with the kit and they seem to fit everything ok Simon. The Gotoh bridge I ordered must have the American bushings too. They are the same size as the loose ones. Around 10.5mm. About 7/32".
