Can I have the detailed dimensions of your screw? I am planning on doing this convert but I am not sure if that is the actual screw size that will fit the Mustang cigar.

I intend to buy this. What do you think?

Type: Hex Head Bolt
Thread Size: 1/4-28UNF
Standard: Inch
Material: 304 Stainless Steel
Bolt Length: 3/8" = 9,5mm - Is 3/8 long enough?


Btw nice mod and sorry for goofy ah english Thank!

Sorry, haven't checked OSG in a while or I would have answered sooner

That is pretty short length imo, I went with 5/8 in length so that the screw goes deep into the cigar.

thank you so much, I've bought 2 screws 1-1\4 length and that too long lol. I'm planned to cut it to 1,4cm so it could hold perfectly the cigar.

Btw what size drill bit do you use to drill holes for bridges?

That all depends on which bridge you use. Check the diameter of the posts, or check to see which drill bit in your set matches the diameter.

I'd recommend using a drill press or a portable drill guide you can use your hand drill with, so you can get perfectly straight holes.
