SORTED-WTB 6 Screw Vintage Trem

I'm after a quality 52.4mm screw spacing (MIM dimensions) 6 screw trem in excellent nick with a push in arm. Hipshot, Callaham or suchlike.
Anyone have such a thing?

    Sorry, I don't have anything for sale but I can recommend the ABM 5050 series trems (the 5050M has the Mexican/ 52.5 screw and string spacing). Nickel plated steel block, threaded arm with Delrin sleeve in the block (like Callaham) but fractionally looser feel, which can be tightened with a grub screw in the block. Beautifully made. Might be worth adding to your wish list.
    My trading feedback is available here:

    Thanks, but I don't think Gotoh make anything with these mounting dimensions.

    The Gotoh 510 trems are 54mm spacing
    56mm vintage spacing
    54mm modern spacing 
    52mm used on lots of import guitars
    It works out something like that.
    Correct me if im wrong.
    I totally agree with @CasperCaster ; ABM make fantastic quality parts.

    Yeah, I think you're right. I'm after the 52mm fixing points with the idea of plonking it in without getting the drill out because, well, I can't find my drill. And I'm all for an easy life!
