Looks like your MT2 has no tang. It is likely tapped for a drawbar? If so, what I do is to insert a grub screw instead of a drawbar. Adust the grubscrew until it just ejects from your tailstock, measure how much it protrudes. Then remove grubscrew, add a low strength (removable) threadlock (like Loctite) and readjust grubscrew to the measured protrusion plus about one mm. The one mm will allow for many years of wear before you need to readjust the grubscrew.

Quick update, I used my new chuck again the other day and decided I would tap the end for an M5 thread and then screwed an M5 Cap Head all the way in. Problem solved. It's the perfect length and my rule on the Tailstock reads zero's correctly.
Thx
Jon
