Unfortunately mostely all potentiometers look like this...

Yep. I know potentiometer.com. I am in the planning stage of a clone of 
the Moog Parametric, and thought about them - low order volume should 
not be a problem (beside the price) as they also offer single custom 
made potentiometers.

But in this case we'd like to keep the mechanical concept of the 
potentiometers mounted on the backside of the pcb. Anything else would 
end in more and more effort for other problems.
