To fit the Switchcraft jack would mean cutting a recess from the inside of the block, about 10mm deep x 15mm diameter - but I cannot see an obvious way of doing this short of opening up the body. However, after completing the soldering, I have discovered that the tailblock is about 10mm too deep for the new jack - with the back cover and nut adjusted as far back as they will go, the socket *only just* pokes through the hole, not enough to get the outer washer and nut.
He has opted to replace the original (broken) screw-in jack with a Switchcraft jack (sacrilege in the eyes of a Danelectro enthusiast, no doubt, but I can see why he would want to). A customer has brought me his Convertible to have the pot and end-pin jack replaced.
