Tuckstir short list is what is no wrong..
1: the Truss rod
The only thing that makes me think twice about a project is a dodgy neck. Funnily your to do list is frighteningly lose to what mine was with my 34in hofner - though I had a a nut that worked.
The ferrule is available - but at (last i checked) 10GBP + shipping from a hofner parts shop in the UK. But I just cut up some golf club shafts to make a sleeve - kinda works...Thinking about it, those violin basses probably use the same tuners - that would be a useful source of parts?
I'd be tempted to swop the tuners for a set like on the Cort Action Jr - the old ones ;look sooo cool and the bass is fairly complete.
Bone can get quite brittle once boiled up (and stinky) - graphtech/tusq be so much easier.
The Gear Junkies have one (in white) waiting for a tuner and a few other bits too. Don't think they'll prt it out, but you never know.
Nice one! ?
Edit: Realizing I wrote a DIY post and didn't suggest relicing - now fixed ?
