Options for a 9.5" radius TOM style bridge and stoptail

Looking to put a TOM style bridge and tailpiece on a partscaster with a 9.5" radius neck.

Do these exist? If not, what are my options?

Buy a 12” radius one and deepen the four outer saddle slots.

You don’t actually want the bridge radius to exactly match the fingerboard anyway, it needs to be about 20% larger to give a slight increase in string height from treble to bass. A 12” bridge should be about right, you will probably only need to deepen the high E and B, and maybe the low E slightly.

Sounds like a plan. Thanks @ICBM ;
