Putting a single coil in a humbucker slot

I have an RG with H-S-H pickup config, but i'd like to put a SC in the neck position. There is no pickguard, the pu's are direct mounted. Problem is that the width of a single coil is greater than the space where the HB screws into the guitar. I really don't want to have to route the guitar to fit the SC- does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks in advance.

It depends on how much wider it is, I would think. If you are willing to sacrifice the ability to raise or lower it easily, you could cut off the plastic edges where the screws go.

You may be able to get it to fit by tilting it a little bit, rather than putting it in straight as well.
