Any reason to not mount the pot free of the board, with wires
making the connections? That way, you could either mount it to a
bracket, or mount it on the other side of the side plate, with a small
box over it.

Of course -- first make sure (with an ohmmeter) that the pot is
not electrically connected to one of the leads.

Another possibility is if the sprocket and hub are longer than
the available shaft, is to mount an insulating shaft (Delrin or the
like) on the side panel and use it as a pilot for the outboard end of
the sprocket.

Enjoy,
