What kind of pickups am i searching for? how hard are they to replace? what are my prices looking like?
Well here is a picture, pickups are mounted on a bracket that sits under the flywheel pretty simple to remove if you have wrench skills.
Basic instruction. Remove side cover, note location of bracket, it has raised lines on the bottom, note the location to the casting of the engine case as new one will need to be installed in the same location, best bet take a picture. To remove bracket remove the two nuts & washers.
Next, to get the wire out of the case, you will need to remove the idividual wires from the plastic plugs (note the location of each wire once again pictures) remove by inserting something small into the plug end to release from the plastic, I use a piece of safety wire. once all wires are free, loosen the black plastic colar & rubber seal on the engine case, once out you should be able to push wire harness through into the case.
Install same as reverse, once new bracket is installed and lined up with your reference picture (or however you marked it) you need to set air gap on the pickups. Best to pick up a hanes manual or google it. simple stuff just easer to read than me try to explain.
Cost...have no idea...I think mine sold for 30 bucks on ebay
Hope this helps a little
