What trimmers for vero builds?

I’m working on a Sunface and I have no idea what style of trimmer I need to order to fit the vero spacing. Where are you guys getting your trim pots for your vero builds?

Most people here use the single turn trimmers from Tayda. If space allows, the multiturn trimmers can be adjusted more precisely

I have some single turn trimmers but they don’t fit the layout. Here’s a link to what I’m working on:

Sunface NKT

Maybe a pot like this?

These type of trimmers have the spacing from that layout:

But there's no problem in using those multiturn trimmers you linked.  The leads are fairly long so just bend them as necessary to fit the layout.  I bought quite a lot of trimmers with very long leads for that very reason so that they could basically fit in any layout no matter what the spacing.

When i built that one and the silicon versions,  I made that  pre gain trim an external pot. I find it more useful than the fuzz control.  I saw an Analogman custom build with that option too.  

Otherwise  all the trimpots seen can work if you bend the legs.
