I made an enclose to just be ziptied out of the way.
18 gauge steel, ground out a slot for the slider, the holes for the 3-64 screws and one 1/4” hole for the mounts
wrapped it with a 2” strip so 1/2 protects the slider and the other side the pot, welded it together and ground away indeeded areas so it takes up less space, drilled a hole in the side and front to zip tie.
