Electronic Ignition for Stovetop (w/pics)
I finally got tired enough of the piezoelectric igniter on my Atwood stovetop that I decided to replace it with a battery-powered igniter unit. You know what I’m talking about. You twist the knob; bam...

The igniter is only secured by the plastic nut, but everything seems very well held in place. I used a couple of small plastic "upholstery plugs" to cover the two holes, which you can see in the third and fifth pictures. I think you can get them at an auto parts store. A round or square sheet metal plate would also work on either the inside or outside. The igniter and nut would hold it in place on whichever side you installed it. I think there is also room to install short screws with nuts to plug the holes. The battery cover/button comes right to the edge of the holes, so you might have to shave the edge of the plastic buttons or screw heads.
