On mine the centerline of the hole is about 3-1/4" to the bottom of the plate.

My set are quite old.

https://calvertracing.com/product/mt-2-mount/

Information on line states the distance should be enough so that the rod should be able to miss the springs by at least 1".
If it doesn't, these lower brackets will need to be a little longer.
