Can someone with an open box of Waverley tuners measure the hexagonal bushing for Craig. He's doing the inlay on the FOLK Guitar Project and doesn't have the final dimensions of the bushing.

I got him the specs from StewMac website, but the drawings do not give the final hexagonal measurements of the bushing, only the tapered part of the press in outside of the bushing.

TIA

It would be helpful to get the dimension of the flats side to side, and the corners of the hexagon, corner to corner.

I really need it to make sure the bushing doesn't cover up the eye.

Maybe you can tell me this- I am currently 3mm from the outer edge of the tuner hole to the inlay. Is this enough space to include the bushing in full? It "looks" like enough but that's not good enough!


Thanks
Craig L.

Didn't see your post JJ. There must be a litle variation in these.
