I did install both the block and arm. It was a special edition mexican stratocaster, which is essentially a mexican standard with cosmetic changes. Kevin asked me for the trem block number (stamped to the block) and he made an aluminium based on that information alone. He seems to have done plenty and can make all the common measurements.

I've clear differences in Floyd blocks and steel vs zinc Strat blocks, saddles etc so wouldn't be at all surprised if ally sounds different to steel. Not just tone 'curve' but things like note separation, sustain, etc. We'll see anyway, it's ordered, prob here tomorrow, he's very quick.

Or altternatively if anyone has a Hurley trem block that will fit a vintage spaced trem plate then let me know

So I got hold of Kev's details and asked if he would do me a replacement steel block with delrin insert. It was with me 48 hours later and has transformed the feel of the guitar. Gret service and a nice feller to boot.
My colleague and fellow forumite @PonchoGreg has also used Kev's services and rates him highly.
I think the contact details are on the thread above bit if anyone wants them - I have them.
