Converter bushes are used when you want to install vintage style machine heads if you have a modern size head stock hole to work with. They are used with vintage-style tuners with press-fit bushes. These sets of machine head converters allows a 6mm or 6.4mm (1/4") machine head shaft to fit a larger hole. If the hole is smaller than 10.5mm it can easily be reamed out with a piece of sandpaper wrapped around a dowel or pencil until it's the perfect size. - Set of 6 - Fits 10mm-10.5mm (3/8"-13/32") headstock hole - For 6mm-6.4mm (1/4") shaft - For vintage tuners including Gotoh
Machine Head Conversion Ferrules - 10.5mm (13/32") to 6.4mm (1/4")

The bushes should be a firm press fit into the hole. If the hole is too small don't force in the bush, instead increase the size of the hole.

It's best not to use a drill to increase the hole size as it will likely chip the wood or lacquer, instead wrap some 80-120 grit sandpaper around a dowel or round pencil and rotate it to make the hole bigger.
