Moving right along...
A warning. Do not purchase the 1/4" aluminum rod from Home Depot. It is ever so slightly larger than 1/4" in diameter...just enough that it will not fit in a 1/4" shaft coupling.
So I had to fall back to Plan B...
Two of the controls in my junkbox had to be sacrificed in order that I could have shafts for the volume control and the power-sensitivity switch.
Once I cut two shafts to fit, these were installed in the couplings...

Here is the volume control now:

and the power-sensitivity control:

Notice that both couplings are far enough out of the way that they will not interfere with the indicators which display amount of volume and whether the radio is set to Off, On Local, or On Distance.
