Brass block/ trem sitting forward

[gps100proof]

Recently put a 32 mm brass block in a js32, since booking everything back up, I find that the trem is sitting forward and not flush. Common problem and with adjusting the claw screws take care of it?

Yes tighten the claw screws.

Assuming "trem sitting forward" means that the bridge is tilted very high up from the body, you will have to do the re-balancing act of tightening the claw screws and retuning the entire guitar. Tighten a bit, retune, repeat until the trem is level and the guitar is in tune.

THe block is fatter than the tiny stock block, im guessing that the thickness or placement of the holes for the springs are to blame. its not bad, but its not as it was

Or is it too fat and its not floating anymore?

If in doubt, take some photos to share with us so we can see what you're talking about and our diagnoses.

No its still floating, just opon reassembly, the bridge is about 2-3 mm higher in the back now. what media would be good to share photos in the forum?

Tighten the claw screws and it'll bring the bridge back down level. If the screws are as tight as can be, then you'll need to add another spring.
