Thanks. I've had a look on Tanglewood website, and the only real contact, is by Facebook, which I've done. Thank you for your advice though, much appreciated.1

If you get nowhere with Tanglewood, you'll need to take care to get the right size and fitting of bushing - they do vary quite a lot.I have bought ukulele tuning machines (and other guitar and uke spares) from Chinese ebay sellers, very cheaply for a set of four complete tuners that work fine, but they were thicker than my battered old ones, and I had to drill out the holes to fit them.Luthier spares from China / Hong Kong almost always come much more quickly than the delivery estimate, IME.

I assume you've seen this: https://www.tanglewoodguitars.co.uk/faqs/
Where can I source spare parts for my Tanglewood Guitar?If the part is under warranty please contact your place of purchase to order. You’ll need to provide a copy of the sales receipt along with the the model and serial number of the product to do this.
If your request is not under warranty, please contact your nearest Tanglewood dealer who will either have the part you need in stock, or be able to order it directly. You can find your nearest retailer on our Dealer section in the menu above.
