Replacement Squier tuners?

Recommended Posts

So the post size is 17.5mm on the headstock of this jazz bass.

 

The existing tuners screw hole positions are 20mm and 23mm. Hipshot HB7s are close, but really, I can’t justify the cost in this bass at this time.

 

 I was hoping Wilkinsons would fit, but at 25mm and 33mm the screw holes are miles away.

 

Any suggestions, or am I looking at plugging and drill new holes?

Eh, buy what fits in the big hole (and your budget) and fill/redrill as needed - it's not that big a deal of a job.

If @Aidan63’s spares aren’t the right size, go with the Wilkinson’s and modify as above. They’d be a nice upgrade I’d imagine.

Yep, ordered the Wilkinsons, and actually the original screw holes should be covered, so just case of new pilot holes. 

Given the distance from the old holes, you should be ok in terms of strength, but you might want to fill them anyway.
