Mounting a spinner to a metal cp?

First see how much the bolt from the spinner is going to stick out from the control panel.  You can adjust the knob probably, but make sure it will be the way you want it before some semi-permanent installation.

No problem!  I used 3/4" plywood (a 2"x2" square) and drilled a way oversized hole for the spinner shaft to go through.  Also, Gorilla Glue expands quite a bit when it dries so go easy on it.  I had to sand some of the excess away - it wasn't a big deal though.  The screws were #8 and 1/2" long.  The thing doesn't budge at all and the spinner works great.  I did sand/scuff the surface of the metal so the glue had something to bond to.  Also, be careful that you are able to adjust the length of the spinner shaft though so the knob is able to sit at the right height (we are using different spinners and I'm not familiar with yours).
