I tried my first magnet swap the other night and it was pretty easy. I did, however, have to use some paper as a spacer because the A5 I tried was thinner than the ceramic magnet I was swapping out. And it got me wondering a few things
1. Is the magnet supposed to be flush against the bobbins or the base plate? That is, if you don't have anything to fill up the space properly when magnet thickness is different.
2. What do you use for spacers to occupy the space I mentioned?
For reference, I was using an A5 magnet out of a 498t into a generic humbucker with a ceramic magnet. The ceramic magnet was nearly twice as thick and the little slender spacers that run along the outside edges of the bobbins/baseplate couldn't be moved because there was no room for one of them to lay on it's side.
