On my Sierra, what is this hole for? It is smaller than the ones used for the cross shafts. And all three supports have them in line, as if a rod would fit in, parallel to the cross shafts.
Thanks,[/img] |

A stop? I'm also curious about the purpose of the set screw in there. Whatever goes there ain't supposed to turn.

| This is a hole for wires, that go to a switch, that is mounted on the back apron. Tne switch allows for the use of "split" coil pickups. Two of my Sierras' have this switch. A nylon sleeve fits into the hole. |

To hold the nylon sleeve in place?

Russ, I just expected a set screw (or cap screw) is the purpose of the threads.
