Todd,
Kalison buttons are not readily available, and would not readily fit, anyway. What I'd suggest is that you get the stems tapped-out to accept the Yamaha size, and go with the largest Yamaha finger buttons. They are readily available, look good and work very well.
Whoever does this also needs to ensure that the depth of the lip of the finger button is the same as the original, so that everything will line up right. The large Yamaha finger buttons work well on the large Holton tubas, and if the lip is cut way down, they will fit the Weril tubas, too. The large finger buttons on the Weril tuba make it feel like a million bucks.
