If you use the supplied template it will sit in exactly the same position as the original bridge. Are you worried that this position will not provide sufficient intonation adjustment?

A little bit concerned, but that's not the reason I ask. At the moment, I am just trying to understand why the new bridge appears to be shifted closer to the nut. It's challenging because I have neither a new bridge nor a 4003 in hand.

Thanks for mentioning the template. If interested, here's an earlier thread discussing options for bridge replacement:

It's a pretty special 4001 C64, so I'm not rushing into this.


Thanks,
