I experienced some trouble getting an 88 toaster cover on a coil. It appears about 1 to 2 mm less high than normal, which makes the alu bottom plate difficult to assemble and bend.
Anyone ever experience this?

Are you 100% sure the toaster cover is an original RIC part?

I've never experienced any variances in the toaster cover size, even swapping between decades of production.

Pretty sure yes.
I was wary of it at first, but I checked the register for pics of other '87 v64s (it was 87) and they had it too.

Notice the gap between the base plate and the cover, in the middle. Is not a shadow.
It's actually not easy to assemble

I'll take a picture of it when home

posted the pic of the guitar I'm talking about on facebook, as it takes larges pics than this forum.

Weird and annoying..

So R tailpiece brackets weren't the only thing that changed!!!

I can't cope with all this new topic drama.
