Macro binocular spacer plate query

Chaps and chappesses, how wide is the spacer plate on the macros? I'm trying to achieve a "close to" build but don't have the funds or the will to ruin increasingly rare and pricey cameras so will be using less expensive alternatives. I've obtained a couple of Pentax telephoto lenses but they seem a tad wide against the main body of the eumig.
 
Not quite the same 'feel' as actual Kaligar lenses, but surely someone must make some resin replicas of the 80mm f/2.8... ?

I was getting there, but was on a walk. The other question didn’t take much effort. Here is my DEC lens plate!

Fabulous stuff. Really appreciate it. Like I said I'm trying to source close to​ elements rather than the actual bells and whistles and paying hundreds for the real thing or even resin copies is out of my budget.

Thanks again. So the original Six Sixty lenses only had about a 42mm diameter mounting thread? I was surprised about how dainty some of the dimensions on this prop are.
