Schaller roller bridge

[knight_yyz]

Hi Guys, I bought a Schaller roller bridge for my Epiphone black beauty last summer. I misplaced it, but found it a few days ago. I'm looking at it and I can't figure out how it installs. The bridge has threaded holes in it and the posts are threaded as well. So how do you thread the bridge onto the posts which would already be threaded into the guitar body? I do know the posts are wrong, but even if everything was right, I am having a real hard time seeing how this goes together. I'm wondering if conversion posts would work. I've seen a website that makes larger metric posts, with the smaller 6-32 posts on the top half. It might work, if I can figure out how to put the bridge on after screwing in the posts. I may just end up selling it and getting a tone pros, but if I can figure this one out I'd like to at least try it.

well damn, this picture only shows threads at one end, yet my posts have threads at both ends. So this just sits on top of the pin? Nothing to lock it in place?

Possibly one side is right hand thread, other side left hand?

So when I got home I noticed there are only threads on one end. I had no idea this just is held on by string pressure
It's up for sale then, I am going with the tonepros nylon saddles so I can get the bigsby later.
