The satndard lenght of the thread part on a pot seems to be 6.5mm but i need it a bit longer. Would anyone help me with a pot type or a shop?

The "bushing" on 16mm posts is pretty short. ( I assume that's what you normally use)
Moving up to a full size 24mm pot and even a 3/8" bushing will get you a longer area to work with.
Depends on what you need it for, value and space you have to work with.
Tubesandmore.com has a few odd pots with longer bushings I think.

Or are those to long?

You might also be able to search mouser and find some that may work for yoru needs
