Nothing else fits the stock vibrato cavity - not even the Ibanez Hard Rocker - without the need for some wood removal.

The pivot posts are at a non-standard spacing.

FYI, a correctly positioned Kahler Pro, Flyer or Fixed bridge will not cover the original pivot inserts.
Almost … except the screws of any T-style bridge would be trying to bite into fresh air and the top of the RS1000 and RS1010SL models is arched.
Schaller might have something suitable. If I can think of any other solutions, I shall add them here.
Given that a gold Kahler Pro may be a reasonable temporary/semi-permanent fix, I could live with visible threaded inserts.
Are you sure it would intonate?

The arched top of the RS1010SL would necessitate either a stud-mount or a recess to accept the flat mount.
Imagine, if you will, where the back corners of the Pro Rock'r would sit above the guitar top. That is approximately where the back two screws (or studs) of a Kahler would go. The forward two fastening screws of a flat mount probably align with fresh air.
If the thread pivot inserts for the Pro Rock'r were repurposed, the height wheels for a Kahler Pro stud-mount would support the corners of the vibrato's baseplate.
Truth be told, the only substitute for an Ibanez Pro Rock'r vibrato is another Ibanez Pro Rock'r. Since my intention has always been to block the bugger off, the next best thing is an Ibanez Hard Rocker. The necessary woodwork will be hidden.
I can see me purchasing another RS model purely in order to re-deploy the Pro Rock'r...
