does anybody know how to properly install a metal pickup cover on humbuckers?
the reason i am asking is, as you can see, the covers do not have the screw polepieces meaning i may need to unscrew the pickup polepieces from the pickup itself...sounds like so much hassle! and i am also worried about damaging the pickups 'cos they costed me a few quid when i bought them yrs ago.
can anybody help?

bukak memang tak boleh. epiphone for example memang as you said, glue kan.
ni aku beli pickup cover aje. seymour duncan aku sekarang ni togel, so nak kasi cantik balik. pasalnya masa beli dulu nak eksyen nampak label..hahaha. sekarang aku nak retain balik aesthetic of the guitar.
so, case aku ni terbalik. nak pasang, bukan nak bukak.

i've finally got em on. received them on friday. just couldnt wait so i took out the pickups. removed the rickup mounts and shove the covers..carefully! kalau nak betul kena glu/solder the edge (according to photos in a magazine) but they were tight and snug and no way they were coming off. gently adjusted the magnetic pole pieces...tu aku tawakal cos i heard that some magnetized screw drivers mess up the pickups. i used them small cermin mata type screw drivers. in 20 mins my guitar looks great. the sound is affected sikit, just a bit.. but that is to be expected!
so thanks bode and suicide, for sympathising at least!!!! i'll post up pics once my films are developed!
