Need help_DIY/Homemade jag/jm tremolo
Hello! Firstly, sorry, I don't know much English.
I am currently making tremolo and cannot find some sizes.
If someone has the opportunity to measure the required dimensions (A, B, C, D on the drawing) on a vintage fender tremolo or Mastery tremolo, I will be very grateful!
Attached links to the picture and .dwg drawing.
And two photos of the test sample.
I don’t know how best to upload pictures)

Contouring.
And a few more photos. The strat tremolo is unfinished. Saddles - cast stainless steel (from China)
On the tele bridge, they are honed and polished.
All baseplates - 2.5mm stainless steel. (on the hipshot 3mm, was swapped because original baseplate had mistakes on holes position )

That is pretty badass. Like, really, really cool. Is it fair to assume that you are a machinist? Solid metalwork skills here, thanks for all the pictures ! Keep'em coming. Отличная работа !

Thanks to all! There was no time to do this tremolo, as soon as I continue, I will post new photos. I also plan to make a bridge (Fender RSD-style as the simplest in construction)
