How To Insert Trem Posts / Anchors ?! (edge lopro)

[Floyo123]

Hi,
so i got this Flower Pattern Body from an auction house, i have a Tremolo (Ibaneze Lo Pro Edge) and everything to install it, the Neck is going to be custom made and pickups are not yet purchased.

So i wanted to know, i have got the Body and the Drillspots for the Anchors of the Tremolo Posts are marked i need to know how to insert them, do i have to drill, do i have to glue them or what and how big are the drillholes supposed to be and how deep.

I would really be happy if someone can help me.

As soon as i get my Camera back i will make some Pictures for you.

Thank you for Reading!

I press them in using a drill press.
I have also done it in the past by threading an M8 bolt into the anchor and tapping it into the body.
no glue required.

thats how i have done it, however i cheated and used the actual trem bolt and a piece of wood. i put spit on the anchor for lubrication as per dan erlewines book.

I need exactly to know how to do it, which way around, how deep the holes have to be and how wide they have to be.

Our neighbour is a carpenter but he needs the exact values.

Well the holes need to be as deep as the anchors. The diameter should be slightly less than the overall anchor diameter so they stay in the hole nicely. if you've got the anchors there that should be pretty simple to work out!
