I used some of these on a project - they are from DGS/Deltron and 
Mouser has some stock.  The nice thing is these mount into a round 
hole with a keying notch.  As you can see in the picture Larry posted, 
these have a long threaded metal body and a hex nut for mounting.  
Installing on a thick panel should not be a problem.  They look pretty 
good as they do not have the "football" ears like most panel mount 
DINs.

Part # 164-2522 for black body
Part # 16HR655 for nickel body

Paul - I definitely think you should order a few to evaluate.  The 
only potential disadvantage is the plastic portion is gray as opposed 
to black - I think this would look fine though.  Black inserts might 
be available as a manufacturing option - but I'm pretty sure the ones 
Mouser stocks are gray.
