Anyone else considering this, take a look at the TonePros Kluson reproduction tuners with split shafts and round buttons. They're smoother operating than the Gotoh Kluson style tuners (not by much, you can't go wrong with the Gotos) but the Tone Pros are available with bolt bushings so there's no need for conversion bushings and you get a little extra hold there with the bolt.

I've done both - drop fit the Tone Pros with bolt bushings, and Gotoh tuners in conversion bushings - and they're both great ways to go. Tone Pros are a little shinier though, edging them out on the choices. It's possible the gotohs with conversion bushings are lighter, which was a consideration for my twelve string.
