I've got a lovely (to me anway) ST213, its great but the trem is a cheap one with the screw in arm , its floppy and annoying ( i dont wiggle it a lot but its there for when i do ). Its string spacing is 10.8mm by my measurement but the distance between the outside securing screws is 52.4mm (or 2 1/8th " ) . I have a space wilkinson WPV6 with 10.8mm spacing but the elongated holes are 54/56mm so it does'nt quite fit. Should i fill and drill and drop the WPV6 in or go looking for a good quality trem with a push fit arm ( I quite like the modern saddles on the WPV6 as well, I like the whole thing really, the lip is nice under the hand).

Edit - no, scrub that, it has 56mm screw spacing even though 52.5mm string spacing. That's a good thing I noticed that, I was thinking of getting one for my Aria...

My preference is the ABM 5050M. Not cheap, but at least as good as Callaham but actually less expensive.

Found this on Amazon of all places (i'm really not a fan). Its a brand called Alnicov, really nicely made, heavy brass block with push in 5mm arm, has 52.4mm hole spacing and its lipped. I'll get it fitted tonight and see how it goes. Looks the part though.
Cheers for the help everyone
