You might try to find a correct tremolo arm...that's really the only thing that I can see. I was able to find an arm with the correct angle (same as what came on my '68 strat) on eBay for $25...

That's out of the scope of this forum. Try halen dot com. Steve has an amazing build going on over there that is very well documented. Feel free to PM as well if you'd like. I'd be happy to help.
Cheers
