Does anybody have experience of fitting a Jaguar guitar mute on a P or Jazz bass?

I want to fit a Fender Jaguar guitar mute on a P bass.
Does anybody have experience of doing this?
There was a detailed video a couple of years ago on YT but I can't find it now.
Does anybody know how deep the hole for the spring and plunger need to be?
Everything else I'd fine with.

Buy a Sean Hurley Custom Shop Fender Precision Bass... 🤔🤪😉

Why, when I've already got a great bass and a great workshop...😉

I’ve thought about doing that a few times to one of my not so expensive precisions, I’m assuming it’s the one on the Sean Hurley P bass , I’ve got the Bassmute on one which is really good but they are a bit pricey

that's the video I saw, but on the Jaguar, the mute sit's away from the body. On a bass it's against the body, therefore the hole would be deeper. Last thing I want to do is either drill through or the spring dig a hole and go through.
