Some sort of adapter ferrule that will enable a smaller machine head to fit into a larger hole in a headstock?

 

I have a set of Fender Japan-sized machine heads - the tuner posts are 12mm diameter but the holes I am putting them into are 14mm (replacing vintage fender sized tuners). 
 

Long story short, it’s been a nightmare trying to find anything that will fit and these are perfect apart from the bushings/ferrules etc not matching up. 
 

Does such a conversion kit exist? I’ve been googling and some exist for guitars it seems but not for basses. I don’t even know what they’d be called to search for them. 
 

Anyone else overcome this same problem?

 

Cheers

When I’ve put Hipshot Ultralites into basses they’ve been slightly small, Hipshots advised to use aluminium HVAC tape to get them to fit and it worked well.
