First ever pickup swap -- HELP!

Hey everyone, it's been a while since I posted here, but I need some help with my first ever pickup swap.

I'm trying to swap the stock bridge pickup on my RG7321 for an Evolution 7. I'm fine with wiring and soldering, because I modded the electronics on the guitar a while back, so I know what I'm doing there. My problem is that the screws on the evo are wider than the screws on the stock ibanez pickup - it won't screw in properly!

I know people swap the stock ibanez pickups for dimarzios all the time - how do I get it to fit in properly?

you mean, the screws on the tabs, on the sides of the pickups?

I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways,
we could reverse the particle flow through the gate.
We'll cross the streams.

Yeah, exactly. They're spaced too wide to fit into the holes in the body.

Okay, never mind, I got it to fit. Just took a bit of creative drilling. Pickup's wired up and working fine now!
