has anyone seen un-notched saddles that will fit the IBG TOM bridges ?

If that’s a metric bridge, and I assume it is, the only ones I could find (after a very long search) were from Stew-Mac. They are not expensive ($12) but they’ll charge you another $10 in shipping on top of that.
I believe they sold them as saddles that “fit our ABR-1“. Their own brand of ABR-1 is metric.
I did find a few others for sale out there, but no one included all detailed caliper level dimensions and I could not verify that they would actually fit properly in the metric TOM bridge I had. Even so, I had to email Stew Mac to verify a couple dimensions.
I still had to use a file to take a few thousandths off the underside of the shoulders. That is, if you were a bridge saddle, and put your arms out to each side, I had to file just a smidge under your arms.
