Please help! Trying to find locking tuners which will fit my guitar

[Mr.Stratocaster]

Hello!
There are Fender®/Schaller® Vintage “F” Style Tuning Machines installed on my strat. Is it possible to find locking tuners (I prefer Schaller, staggered) which will fit existing holes on my headstock without the need to drill new holes ? Or at least I need tuners which will cover existing holes by themselves, so my strat will still look good after modification.

If anyone knows anything about it - please let me know. Or give me links to available choices, please.
Thanks!

Don't know if there are any, you could try Sperzel Trim Locking tuners they fit 10mm holes.

Still interested in this problem.
No, I have Schaller F Vintage tuners, shown below. Please let me know are there any locking replacements for them.

take one off and measure the diameter of the hole there. or if you can buy the fender/schaller vintage tuners that you currently have, look them up online and find out what diameter of hole they require.

Schaller locking tuners require a 10mm hole. You will almost certainly have to drill new screw holes and maybe leave a few showing if you dont want to fill the existing ones though.

IIRC, these will be the closest to fit the peg holes of that neck,

Other will require reaming of the peg holes. You will have to add different mounting screw holes either way.
