My second thought was to take another small piece of aluminum and tap it for a setscrew. Then, I'd cut a groove in the coroplast to expose the rod like the above idea. The aluminum piece could be glued to the coroplast and then you could tighten the setscrew against the rod to lock it in place. I'm just not sure what kind of glue would work all that great to hold aluminum to plastic. It also requires a tap which not everyone probably has laying around.

Ideas are welcome.
Would it be possible to mount it like a carburetor throttle plate, putting the screws through the metal tab and in to the rod. If the rod was ground down in those areas it would make a no slip mount.

PS
To avoid tapping the rod , it might be possible to just drill it and put a screw with lock washer and nut. If the one side needs to be smooth , it could be counter sunk on one side.
