Does anyone know if the 1984 tremelo comes with the mounting stud and insert as pictured below?

I ordered one of these to put on a Charvel and it only had the wood screw type in the box. I was sent a previously opened box, even though it was supposed to be new, so I didn't know if it was supposed to be there or not.

This is the wood type below.

The 1984 comes with the wood screws only, like they did in 1984. It's pretty tough to tell if you got a previously opened one unless all the hardware inside is no longer in the bag. The outside boxes are not sealed from the factory.

Some of the hardware was loose along with the screws for the retainer bar. The only piece actually fastened down was the locking nut.

On the Guitar Center site for example, it has this listed as the features list which made me think it comes with wood screws and mounting studs:
Features

Based on original 1984 specs
Brass fine tuners
Old style housing and locked in swing arm
Bridge mounting wood screws
Fat solid block
Contains:
Bridge
R2 locking nut
Springs and claw
Mounting studs
Hardware

Thanks for the answer. I knew you would have the answer when I posted this!

I bought the bushing for like an extra $10

Yea, I'll be ordering the mounting studs. Is there anything I should be aware of before I order? I would think it''s pretty standard. It's going in a Charvel USA So Cal.
 
The screws for the retainer bar are almost always loose.
 
I've bought two of those and they come with the screws. I really like the 84. I'm in the minority who like the old arm as well. Great unit
