Thanks but these are nuts and what I need are what they call u clips in my hunt. so the slde over the foot and the large unthreaded hole and them the screw goes into the clips threads locks them in position. Seems the auto industry uses big one so looking there for the tiny ones

Re: I need the threaded metal clips for Firbird pickups
Those types of clips are called Tinnermans, or spring clips, or U-clips. They do have all different types and sizes including small ones but I think the problem you will come across is finding them threaded for the small, mounting screw (3-48?). The most common ones accept sheet metal screws. They do have them with an integral nut that accepts a machine screw but again, I'm not sure you will find the right thread size.

Most firebird baseplates now come with threaded feet.....like humbuckers and indeed some minis.
The clips as said are probably going to be so hard to find that it will be easier simply to by suitable nuts and glue them to the feet......which is what is done for every other pickup where the holes have been drilled out larger.
