Replacement Tuning Machines Advice

[tobiewharton]

I'm looking for some really lightweight tuners (black, elephant-ear) for a project. The headstock holes are 18mm and I'm having trouble finding some that will fit. Any ideas anyone?

Cheers,

Tobie

Ream out the holes bigger? They only need to grow a mm or 2.

Cheers Grangur. I'd rather not have to enlarge them if it's avoidable. Besides, the Hipshots seem to have a 14m diameter. Are there none that will drop in? I thought 18mm was pretty standard, but could be off the mark.

Hi there! Did you find any black lightweight elephant ear tuners in the end? I am also looking to replace some heavy tuners in 18mm holes.
