Dimensions for tuner holes

Post by sammyjit »

I have a martin neck for my kit guitar build. I don't have any scale drawings or dimensions for tuner holes. Anyone have any by chance or know where I can get the dimensions?
Thanks

FWIW both LMI and StewMac websites provide dimensioned drawings for mounting the tuners they sell (hole spacing for screws, shaft hole size, etc.).

to note
not all tuners are the same. A waverley tuner and grover open back will interchange but many are slightly different.
