Default Bourns Pot Shafts Not Long Enough!

The length "L" is from where the pot sits on the
PCB board, to the end of the shaft, but it looks
like this L maxes out at 30mm, and I need 35mm.

I'm fairly sure the original is a Bourns pot, because
the bottom of it says "B202", which shows the taper
profile, and the resistance value.


** "B:" ios the cobe letter for "linear and 202 = 2000 ohms.

What to do? Maybe I could cut off the tip of the
original shaft, and just epoxy it onto the new one?


** Why not just saw a slot in the top of the new pot and adjust it with a small screwdriver ?.
