I have a few guitars like that one.

Generally there is a dense foam rubber pad that lightly glues on to the back of the pickup. That keeps the pickup from moving in the cavity. The screws are small diameter wood screws.

The way Voodoo suggests works too. Rubber tubing between the pickup mounting screw hole (on the dog ear) and the base of the cavity works with the small diameter wood screws going though it. The only problem with doing just that is that the pickups can still rattle around the cavity.

Best case would be to use either springs or rubber tubing around the screws with a bit of foam on the back of the pickup. The denser the foam the more likely you'll get some vibration transfer into the pickup which should enhance the sound.

That's the way the pups were placed on my old Ibanez bass I forgot about that foam backing. They did screw directly into the body too.
