Les Paul, long-shaft pot measurement

Hi all. If anyone has a set of the long-shaft pots out of the Les Paul handy, could you measure the length of the threaded bushing? I have a newer Studio and older Classic here and I'm coming up with different mesurements for the same type long-shaft pot. Thanks!

It's not possible for the pot to be too long, you just use a second nut inside.
