I've heard of people sticking the spring from a ball point pen into the trem arm hole to accomplish much the same thing.

Hate to be a dope - but what does that spring do? Doesn't look like the trem arm threads would fit through the spring, so...??

I think (mind you, I've never had a Strat-style trem, only Floyds) that it pushes the arm against the threads in the hole so that the bar doesn't flop all over the place.

Duh - maybe if I had clicked on the link... Yes, the spring drops into the threaded hole (on top of a ball bearing so it doesn't bind) then the trem bar compresses the spring as you screw it in/down, so that it's tight. That IS a good idea!
