Machinehead for 12mm hole

Happy New Tear to all.

I'm trying to sort out something with a 'funny' little Satellite 'Bass'.

Well I say bass but while it has 4 strings it's 24" scale length so less than a Strat !

So I'm thinking to string it with guitar strings - possibly heavy gauge but whatever to hand for now.

I've replaced the poor bridge design - a single threaded rod with 'roller saddles' on it with individual bridge saddles at minimum spacing (ie touching) 

to get a narrow string spacing.

That seems to work fine. But it's missing a machinehead. It has  closed 'elephant ear' types with approx 12mm heasdstock hole with insert for approx 10mm post.

Not very standard. Anyone know of machineheads to fit this or a bushing to adapt other sizes to a 12mm hole - I'd prefer to not have to drill / ream out the existing hole(s).

Not really bothered by the type although a single elephant ear type would be good.

Thanks.
