I don't think Super Ferrites were made in 5 string configuration. There was only one set, originally designed for the 4 string and adapted to 5 string use. That is why the string spacing is so tight on Dyna 5's with SF PU's.

I have a GV. Are these an appropriate replacement for the stock tuning keys? Will the key holes and the retention screw holes line up? Will I need to do any drilling, or will they fit without mods? Thanks in advance!

I believe you will find the bushings are just a bit too large for the holes in the headstock. They are easily enlarged with a dowel wrapped with sandpaper. Some of the tuners used by Peavey had the same size bushings as the Hipshot and Gotoh but many were a bit smaller. The other dimensions on the tuners are the same so you can use them but may have to enlarge the holes.

Thanks. The advice on on sandpaper is a good one. I really don't want to do any drilling as I have seen too many headstocks with the carbon separating from the headstock. This is my Prima Donna fretted 5 string and I don't want to to mess it up in any way, shape, or form.

Cool. No issues as a stock replacement? I am debating clovers vs the Y look. Are you happy with them?
I am!
I clovers can be cumbersome and big/ bulky looking but they also look cool
Y key is best. Each is lighter or heavier then the other. 3/8 worked on my cirrus

Another cirrus I had and another cirrus and my Randy Jackson bass and g bass

I like the metallic green the most. Why cant these have at least 22 frets?!
Exactly !!!!! 21 just add ONE more fret, Please !!!!!

Better yet, one more string and one more pickup! Like this:
