emmons pickup installation help needed

[Philip Mitrakos]

I'd like to get some help or photo on how these emmons pickups are mounted ...
I have not yet pulled my truetones out to see the mounting plates..to see if I need to make mounting plates or what? ?
Thanks phil. pittsburghphil@hotmail.com

Looks like soap-bar mounting to me... you put a piece of foam under the pickup and use four wood screws to 'float' the pickup on the foam. I can't see any other way of mounting them without another bracket or something.

Philip,
I had one in my Zum I had to drill and tap the four holes. Emmons supplies those screws (good luck with that one), but Fastenal carries them too. I forget what the size is, but it tells you on the Emmons website. I suggest using stainless screws, since they go right through the middle of the p'up near the poles.

Phillip,

You'll need to remove the mounting plates so you can drill and tap them for the very small 2-56 mounting screws (item G) on page 7 of the Emmons Catalog.



If you look at the mounting plate (item J) also shown, you'll see the smaller 4 hole bolt pattern that's used for these pickups.

Thank you got it!

Make sure you don't use metal screws, only brass or RVS screws!

You can get the screws from Emmons about $0.25 ea
they are non magnete. I have them on mine no problem
The Emmons mounting plate has the holes 4-40 threads per in.
