  This stuff works great. Just coat the back of the pcb with it and stick it to the back of the pots or the enclosure.

Yes, I can confirm the double-sided tape works quite well.

+1 for double sided tape.

Adhesive back velcro would also work, and gives you the added advantage of being able to reposition it.
The only known cure in the world for GAS is death.  That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

I like aluminum standoffs JB Welded to the enclosure so my layouts have space for the standoffs. Otherwise 3M double sided tape for auto trim.

I try not to use tape when I can, but sometimes it can't be avoided.  The 3M tape works great.  I have also used these in the past with good results (Self Adhesive PCB Standoffs):

Yep, 3M VHB is highly  recommended if you have to use double sided tape.

They have different formulations to match various substrates.  McMaster Carr has a large selection of it.

Agreed.  We all had to start somewhere.
