Looking for Tuner Bushings for a 1982 Ibanez Blazer

[MarcFar]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Hi![/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I am trying to repair a rather abused 1982 Ibanez Blazer.[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The brass bridge is unfortunately unusable anymore so that one has to go and be replaced with a Gotoh vintage looking one but the tuners/machine heads are missing 2 of the bushings. I could just change the tuners, of course but the bass still has the original Hercules "heart shaped" tuning pegs that I would love to keep.[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The problem is the dimensions of the bushings: 12mm inside and 15mm outside.[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I had no luck finding replacements so if someone has some extra bushings with these dimensions or know who can help get/buy/trade some, I would love to hear from you![/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Thanks! [/font][/color]

You may get some mileage from a local machine shop - get them lathed to replicate the two you have. Stainless steel would look OK. You may be lucky and get them done at a fair price.

I think I can help.
