Talk me out of it (Squier '51 modding content)

[marnold***]

Should you decide to replace tuners, I've used these a couple of times and I like them:

Any idea on the size or tuning ratio? I can't seem to find specs on them.

A lot of people on the Squier '51 modders forum like these from Stew Mac, along with the requisite bushings:

At least with these, I'd know that the tuners/bushings will work for sure with the '51, although I'd have to drill for the set screws. I kind of like the vintage tuner thing where you stick the end of the string in the post and twist from there. My bass tuners are like that.
