You can replace the 3/16″ inch diameter ferrous studs with rod magnets of the same diameter and length. You need to keep the same polarity as the studs were magnetized through magnetic induction. Using magnet rod pole pieces can give you a slightly brighter pickup depending on the grade and strength material you are using.
