Schaller Conversion Bushing Questions

[your idol]

Ok so here it is, Ill try and streamline it.

So I have some Wafflebacks (new repros) and they come with historic sized press fit bushings. Id like to put them in place of the stock Schallers which I believe are 10mm

So I know Im going to need Conversion Bushings. Im just trying to pin down which ones I need. This is the physical style Im looking for...not finding them.

I also dont know which dimensions Im looking for.
The Schallers

The Klusons

If anyone has done this or can point me toward the correct bushings Id appreciate it.

Most of the conversion bushings I've seen look similar to the vintage ones on the headstock face.....save for the fact that they are a 10mm external for the press-in section.

I don't think I've seen any with that lip/washer look.

Thats what I was afraid of. Ill be waiting for a vintage set to pop up for a ridiculous price. Why is it that everything I want are the only guitar parts that no one seems to repop. Hell you can even find new harmonic bridges! I need to start a business reproing stuff like this and proper witch hats

Ha I feel you on that. Norlin parts are not as desirable as 50s parts and thus not reporoduced the same. The ones for sale right now are stupid expensive. You’d think with all the 70s mods that happened there would be tons of parts floating around. I guess I missed the boat on that.

Thats the thing! Grovers, reflectors/speedknobs, super distortions... these essentially took the place of stock stuff en masse. Either they all went in the trash bin or theres just hoardes of them stashed. Thats the issue, probably half of it went in the bin and now theres half the amount of replacements available to restore all the stripped guitars.

STILL doesnt warrant some of these prices.
