On my encoder it is worth noting that there were 2 tabs on the sides that were also soldered to the curcuit board for stability. I desoldered these and used them to mount the encoder to the project box lid. YMMV.

First off, drill a hole in your project box that's the same diameter as your metal rod, and stick your rod through it. Now you need to mount your encoder to the inside of your project box. For this, I used pressure sensitive tape, which is double sided and very sticky. I then went over this with a little tape just to be certain.
