Default Upgrade wanted for Yamaha FG-140 Plate Tuner

These are the Plate tuners that came original with My FG-140 Yamaha. I stripped the finish, and re-finished the entire guitar, but the Tuners are just to cheap. Is there an upgrade, plate tuner that will fit without modification to the Headstock.

I'm also a fan of StewMac parts. I recently restored a late 60's FG75 Nippon Gakki Red Label that I picked up for $60 on Craigslist and used their economy 3 on a plate tuners (under $10 and an amazing bargain!) to replaced the junked out originals. I also picked up a Bridge Doctor from them to tame a belly bulge caused by the bridge pulling up. As to the tuners, you will probably need to plug and re-drill the screw holes to get an exact fit. Good looking job!
