I know, if I am explaining things too exact and technical, I get always laughed at ;-). Ok, let's check it out again. SDS5 and / use pots with 3mm axis (shaft). They use linear types (A). SDS5 needs 5 piece 100kOhms, (this means 100000 Ohms) and 1piece 1MOhm (this means 1 Megaohm or 1000000 Ohms).
SDS7 needs 2 piece 4K7 Ohms (this means 4700 Ohms). For a correct placement, the distance from soldering pins to the middle of the axis is important, otherwise the axis is sitting not straight. If the pot is soldered onto the PCB, the axis - middle is 12mm above the board. The diameter of the pots housing may be up to 17 mm, otherwise it doesn't fit into the gap.
Hope that helps.
B.t.w.: How many do you need?
