Hello, wondering if there's a specific way to mount this, or does it get held down by the string tension.

This sits on the guitar top and is held in place by string tension much like other floating bridges.

Does this item definitely fit in the hole in the B16 tailpiece? I ask, because i have the Allparts version of this item, which does not (it's too big). Thanks.

The base plate on this bridge is also too large for the cutout on a B16 vibrato unit.

There is play on these bridges to allow for movement, but the bottom doesn't appear to have a radius.
