Hello,

I have also been searching online for over a year without any success. I am looking for the bottom piece that the floating part of the tremolo fits into. I have everything, but that piece. I recently purchased a complete Bronco in order to examine that part and see if I could manufacture something myself. I'll let you know how that goes.

Good luck!

Dude,

check it!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fender-Mustang- ... 3cc20d4022

I finally found all the parts for mine(had lost them in storage) except that piece that goes below the screw head that adjust the tremolo, but I think that I can manufacture that one myself. Soon as it warms up I'm gonna paint it and get it reassembled.

Cheers!

Thanks God, I won...

Now, finally, I can finish it.
But I'm still looking for the tremolo arm.
By the way, do you know if the Strato Tremolo Arm fits in a Bronco bridge?
Thank you guy!!!

Waguito,

that's a good question that I do not have the answer for as I don't have an arm for mine either. However, I can tell you that the arm does not screw in like on a stratocaster instead it is held in place by a set screw (located on the part that you are waiting for). That is probably why so many original Bronco tremolo arms are missing. I would imagine that a nonthreaded Jaguar/Jazzmaster or Mustang tremolo arm would work. I don't know if the original Bronco arms had a route or indention that the set screw threads slipped into to hold it in place, but suspect that it did not and that may have contributed to so many of them being lost. I have posted this question over on Shortscale.org in hopes that someone over there will have the answer.

Thanks,

Waguito,

so far it looks like a vintage USA Mustang tremolo bar is the most likely candidate to fit the Bronco tremolo, which would make sense since the Bronco shares some other parts with the Mustang. I have learned that the Japanese Mustang trem bar is slightly to large in diameter, which according to another post is 6mm. Someone else posted that the USA Mustang trem bar is 5mm, and should fit. I purchased a USA vintage reissue Mustang trem bar off ebay and will post an update when it arrives.
