Very well done, several! Perfect way to fix the issue without permanently altering your vintage guitar!
Bumping this thread because I believe I found a better solution than using teflon or some kind of shim.
I tried teflon(PTFE) tape, found it awkward, ugly and and tape kept unwinding every time I raised or lower the bridge. I didn't want stringly white ptfe tape visible either.
So I had some 3.2mm heat shrink, I widened the end a bit with some players and slipped it over the thread, heated it up and the fit is perfect and it doesn't come off when you insert it in and out of the cup. Looks neat too.
