Bill:  For a problem similar to yours I placed strips of felt between
wood and metal.  I think I used pre cut flange bushing cloth.  The fit
was tight enough that I did not have to use glue, but would likely have
used contact cement had it been necessary. The neat strips look nice.
Hope this helps.
