I am trying to mount a 22.5mm speed pot (for emergency reverse) inside of a large control cabinet. Does anyone know of a company that makes mounts for a 22.5mm button that can be put inside a cabinet. I do not need a full one button enclosure. I would do this inhouse however we do not have an easy way to work sheet metal. Any ideas or suggestions?
 
Clarification

I already have a speed pot (Automation Direct ECX2300-5K) I am looking for some way to mount it inside the cabinet. Does anyone know of a manufacturer who makes a metal mounting bracket or similar item?

I can probably use a din rail mountable device if one is available as this will simplify the mounting. I can also mount directly to the enclosure panel.
 
Look at the Padlock on page 40 (PDF page 38) of this link.
I first found it at Allied Electronics, ( link )
then Google'd '2pap padlock' to get the PDF link to the OEM catalog.
Looks like something you could modify.

The link Tark already provided you is for din rail mountable brackets for mounting 22.5mm devices inside a control panel. (look under the picture of the pot at the picture of a row of devices mounted on a din rail)

We discussed these sorts of devices in this recent thread: http://www.plctalk.net/qanda/showthread.php?t=4483

If you want something to screw down to your backpan then I suggest you go back to automation direct and get a six dollar single button plastic box, mount the pot in it, then mount it in the enclosure.
