Installing Wilkinson VS-100 bridge

Wizard

I got this bridge ... without any installation instructions.
The web says "can replace normal bridge without modifications"

But ... it has two posts that need holes to be drilled in the body.
And I can't find a template anywhere to give the exact location of these holes.

It's as if people who buy these things just "know".
Well ... I've searched the net everywhere with no luck ... now I need help.

If you have a body with a standard 6 screw Strat trem setup ... how do you modify this for this bridge?

Simply enlarge the outer two holes for the anchors (10mm IIRC - but double-check rather than trust my memory). The reason for the extended blade on the treble side is so that it retrofits easily on to US, Mex and Asian size guitars. ?

Otherwise, just lay a straight edge down the middle of the neck to check where the centre of the bridge (Between the 3rd and 4th saddles) should be, as I've run across some guitars (those with vintage spaced bridges IIRC) where using the standard outer post positions results in the Low E being a little closer to the edge of the board than I like.

Wow. So simple.
Thank you, thank you, thank you ...
Knowledge is power.

Now why don't they say that?
