Yes, that is maddening, but if I look at some of their other info,  
they seem to indicate that the bushing length will be approx 1/4"  
longer than the max. dial thickness. That allows for a nut at the  
front and a rubber washer at the rear. So they have 6 different  
bushing lengths from about 3/8" to about 1" long. The hand shafts 
then  protrude past the end of the bushings by about 3/16".

Do you have any  memory of about how long your bushing was?


Not  right off hand, but I could go to Walmart and measure one. That's 
where I got  mine, since they sell the long shaft style there. I'd like to say 
it's  about 1.25 to 1.375 inches long though. I'm pretty sure it's more than 
1 inch.  The Kmart version is 3/4 inch long, and it's at least a 1/2 inch 
longer than  that. Like I said before, I added a 3/8-16 nut to the back 
(between the clock  works and the metal clock housing) along with using the rubber 
washer to  set the depth correctly.
