Dingwall bridges

[wintoid]

I do my own setups on my basses, but the one bass I've never attempted to set up is my Dingwall, because I don't understand how the bridge works.  I did approach Dingwall through their website but have never received a response.  I wondered if someone here would know.

 

I've attached a picture of how my bridge looks.  I understand that the strings sit on top of screws, which can obviously be adjusted to change the string height.  What I don't understand is how the saddle is moved forward/backwards.  It looks like each saddle is a metal block, and each has two little holes in the top, which I presume contain some sort of screw.  Am I supposed to loosen those screws/bolts and then move the blocks forwards/backwards to adjust?  It seems a bit error-prone if so.  I can't work out how the screw/bolt (if there even is such a thing) is going to secure the block to stop it moving forwards/backwards.

 

Could anyone enlighten me?  I'm pretty crap with physical things like this.

Appears similar to Sandberg, it looks like there’s a screw on the back of the blocks just underneath the strings, if it works the same as Sandberg tightening this extends two locker bars either side of the block, so to adjust loosen this, then physically tap the block in the direction required.

Thanks for responding @Lozz196 I really appreciate it.  I think that's a trick of the light.  So far as I can see the block is just a solid lump on that plane.  Another pic attached.

 

The only things I can see that might be adjustable seem to be on the top of the block.  The whole thing seems very weird to me.  I guess it's held in place by the strings, but that seems quite insecure.

I wonder if the right thing is to tag @Sheldon Dingwall

I'm 99% sure Lozz will be right, but @Bass Direct will be able to help. Probably when they get back after the bank holiday.
