Hey, thanks all round, they're free right ? Everybody, dig in

Yes, I did mean a metal plate on the inside of the case (for
appearances' sake as much as anything), and assumed you
had pots with longish shafts, at least 20mm anyway

My local retail store has a surprisingly good variety of 9, 16
and 24mm for PCB and panel mount, all with long shafts
(although the 9mm are more common with short fluted shafts),
so it shouldn't be too hard to find what you want
