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

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.
