Triple Shot mounting rings on a LP?

[Rexx]

I bought two Triple Shot (LP, arch top) mounting rings on a final sale and just realized I purchased two neck ring mounts (purchased two years ago, just now getting around to a project) Too late to return or exchange.

Q- Will I be able to use a neck TS ring mount in the bridge position?

Isn't it just a matter of the height?

Shorter springs?

Possibly, yes.
Anyway, keep in mind that the stock LP rings have different shapes to match the curvature of the arched top in that particular spot, which would cause the neck ring in the bridge spot to lean toward the bridge (whereas a standard installation is roughly parallel to the strings).
As I said, I don't see any mechanical impediment, but you would end up with almost the whole height of the pickup exposed over the rim of the ring (provided you use really short springs, since those for the standard bridge slot are already shorter than their neck counterparts) and with the screw coil significantly lower than the stud coil, which could cause some alteration in the magnetic field compared to a standard installation.

Thanks for all the replies, instead of being cheap I decided to buy the TS bridge mounting ring.
That'll take care of that.
