I got the tuners and mounted them last night. I ended up using the existing bushings. I checked the tuner shaft in both the new and existing bushing, and it appeared to have about the same amount of movement. I drilled the holes using a 5/64" drill bit and it was just right. I only filled the visible hole (high E) and used clear nail polish to seal the surface. Overall, a very easy install and the tuners are very smooth and look good-very vintage. If I had another guitar, I would use these tuners again. I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow.
