[sdiy] mounting brackets for potentiometers

[Neil Johnson]

(reposting now I have access to a vaguely sensible email client,
although Mike beat me to the draw)

Richard,

Something like this:

http://cesyg.synth.net/page/products/accessories/16mm-pot-bracket/

Note: by "6mm" I think you are referring to the shaft diameter while
the usual convention is to talk about the body diameter, common sizes
being 9, 12, 16, 20, 24mm. The brackets linked to above are for the
common 16mm Alps/Alpha/BI Tech pots.
