Replacement Bushings/Spacers for Bass Tuners?

[Cnivek61]

I have several basses that are 20 to 25 years old. Several spacers (or bushings) between the 2 pieces of the handle are broken or missing completely.

Does anyone have a source of small nylon spacers or bushings? I can't be the first person to deal with this!

I think these are what you want. The TK part number is an Allparts number. If you contact them they might be able to give you dimensions. While those washers can wear out they can also be crushed by over tightening the screw that holds a sealed tuner key on. It generally doesn’t need to be much past snugged down.

If that’s not what you’re after then please post some pictures.
