Strat Problem - Help!

Ok, I have put together the Strat of my dreams. Its a real deal 1960 Strat Neck (Refined 35 years ago) on an AMerican 62RI Body w/ Lollar Blackface pickups.

Everything went great in the frankenstein operation, but the string height will not go high enough on the bridge saddles. To put it mildly, this neck IS FREAKIN HUGE. Its the biggest, fattest Strat neck ever. The standard bridge adjustment screws are just too small, they are maxed out on height, and I like a medium action so I can dig in to the note.

Does anyone know where to find extra-long adjustment threaded posts?
