One size will not fit all unfortunately. Some of us have spent some time figuring out sizes. You need to know the brand name of the tuners or at least provide some pictures so we can ID them.
Keep in mind that manufacturers change brands of tuners now and again and that some manufacturers change sizes now and again.
A while back someone sent me an envelope of misc tuner screws. If you want to send me your mailing address in a PM I could send them to you with some others I have. The big thing is not to force anything. They all look the same but they are not the same.
