Hard to enlarge tuner holes to take the aftermarket tuner bushings....

Hope to install and wire up the Belcat pre amp in the next few days, set the action and intonation, and it should then be all done.

Shaping up very nicely.

I love the decals in the same style as the mm ones, very cool!

This just arrived last night....only took 10 days to get here from US.....


Stock kit pickup has 5 wires where the outer shield is ground. On this one it is just 4 wires where no ohm reading on the shield with any of the other 3. Black is also ground, Red is hot, and white is for coil splitting?

Broncos & Sharks are on soon so this will have to wait until tomorrow night or the weekend.

One of the last pieces of the assembly puzzle and hope it sounds alright. The wires don't look much thicker than stock unit which was the main issue as they were not strong enough once soldered and kept breaking off at the solder joint.

Waz, grab a little bit of the vintage push back wire. Solder one end to the pot or socket that you are connecting. Cut a segment of heat shrink that will reduce to be tight around the thinner plastic covered wire. Slde that piece onto the vintage wire....solder the thin wire to the vintage wire...twisted...flat...whatever you feel will work....slide the heat shrink up over the join.....and heat it down tight.

Nice and strong then.

You can even slide a little heat shrink down over the join at the pot...helps there too.
