You could mix a rh and lh strat set if necessary?

I've drawn out the shape and tested with a spare Rotomatic I've got, and they wouldn't fit without making the headstock a fair bit bigger. Mini Rotos like on my 12-string would fit (but are expensive). Possibly Kluson-style ones may fit. Whatever I use, the bodies need to be smaller than normal Rotomatics.
@WezV , that's what I was expecting but I couldn't seem to find any small ones. I'd be happy with paying £20 or £30 for a set, just don't really want to pay £60+ for Grovers. Apparently the even cheaper ones are perfectly good, but they all seem to be full-size that I could find. Perhaps I need to look harder
@Sporky , those Axetec ones look like I could just about squeeze them in - good shout. I've done a quick test with a paper template and I reckon they'd JUST fit if I got 90 degree tag ones.
@Funkfingers , interesting... they're even smaller than the Axetec ones, and if by "up" you mean the top side of the headstock as you're holding a right-handed guitar in playing position then it sounds like that's exactly the five I need. I may get back to you about those, thanks.
@Funkfingers sold me his old Schallers for a good price (not a lot more than the Axetecs), so I'm using those. They're really small and will be an easy fit in the available space. If I hadn't been offered these then the Axetec ones are still smaller than most and would have worked - if I'd been buying new then that's what I would have gone for (those mini Schallers are a bit pricey new)
