These are the stainless ovalhead screws that were added to the modification R&D parts collection.  If it proves the best choice of options, the oval heads will ride in a counter-sink on the bottom side of holes in the plate that allow screw-driver access to the screws for adjustment, like the original bridge configuration.  a 3rd matching screw of this kind would secure the rear plate hole with the additional meat needed beyond the original reissue bridge's lighter screw.

In any event, the post screws must be relocated forward and inward approx 3/32" ...within the perimeter of the electronics cover plate holes... to match the holes centers in the reissue bridge plate;  And of course such holes would not be drilled until I am quite sure that all other geometry and considerations appear correct.

Temporary Staging of Danelectro Reissue Bridge;
Proof of Concept (POC).

SO FAR ... SO GOOD
Non-destructively fitting an intoneable 12 string bridge onto a vintage Danelectro

Bridge mounted on top of screws in mis-aligned existing body screw holes;  Saddles' fretboard radius held in place by rubber band. Saddles set from mathematical intonation datum.
Toothpick across last fret barely raises string.
String threading holes clearly visible under bridge.
String end must be curled to thread into the under-bridge receiving holes;  BUT each string must also be curled to thread the factory rear-bridge ball-end receivers too!   No loss in stringing technique.  Finger pressure will curl the string.
The next step, in process now, is to string the guitar with 3 strings to check all geometry, AND determine if I can modify the bridge plate holes properly OR if I will have to take the bridge to the machine shop to make sure the holes are made to the correct locations, sizes and shapes.
