What size are the tuning screws?
Bass Tuners - Classic Black
I think I drilled my pilot holes too small because I snapped two of the tiny screws when installing and will need to get replacements. Any advice on pilot hole size would be appreciated.

For the screws that come with the tuners at the time I'm writing this, the ideal pilot hole would be 5/64" or 2mm. You could probably get away with 1/16" with some back and forth movement to ream the hole by a hair.
