Mounting Photoresistors

I have a little noisemaker circuit on the breadboard that uses a bunch of photoresistors to control a variety of parameters.  I finally got it to where I want it and am getting ready to solder it up and put it in an appropriately wacky enclosure, but I don't have the slightest idea of how to mount the photoresistors onto the damn thing. I though about getting a bunch of those LED bezels with the rubber cork things, but the ldrs are oblong shaped and may not fit in the bezel.  Anyone have any experience mounting these things?

If you're not doing it for yourself, it's not DIY. ;)

hmmm..good to see others ideas on this, .im doing something similar, lighting conditions will vary the sound though!...

ive made my ldr's to react to darkness instead of light...so my wah if you like is open when its dark/covered...as per normal foot action...

but of course this means it needs light to be off...so i will have to have a right angled led facing the ldr to cover all lighting conditions,.....

protecting the ldr is another problem...i like the idea of those clear pedal feet..the refraction might just do the job.
