Maybe try it 1st before throwing it away.
The measurements shown on the one with the pins is too short by 3mm and width is short by .2mm and height is short by 1mm. But I'll try it first anyways. Thanks!

Ok that might be way too loose in that case.

At the risk of becoming a bore, I repeat my recommendation from a similar thread - Bob Colosi is the man to go to for nuts, saddles, and pins. He will advise on, and supply, exactly what you need. Nice guy, immense store of knowledge, superb products.
