Hi Phil,
When my reverb unit arrived via UPS, it had had the crap knocked out of it.
All but like 2 of the springs that hold the pan in place had fallen off. So
I had to take it apart to fix it. When you lock the pan, you are simply
pushing the pan against some foam padding. The side of the pan that faces
the front is open, exposing the springs. So you are just pushing the springs
against some foam padding when locking it down. You'll probably have to take
it apart and put the foam back. I am not sure how it is normally affixed,
let us know when you find out.
I have also heard stories about the foam falling off and getting caught in
the pan. So suddenly your reverb stops working. But luckily its just the
foam in the way and not anything electrical.

Maybe? The bridge/trem system is different though. However, I think you
might have to do some routing as I think (?) the Jazzmaster pickups are just
a tad wider than your average humbucker.
Good luck,
