With the finishing done, I lined the pickup cavities with copper sheilding:
I overlapped the edges of the pieces and soldered between them. This was probably unnecessary but easy to do to ensure continuity.
I then installed the Tonerider Birmingham Pickups and a roller bridge that I also picked up while waiting for the Nitro to cure.
I found getting the electronics into the cavity a challenge. I started out using plastic tubing to pull the pots through but that turned out to be more trouble than it was worth and ended up using brass wire which was way more flexible.
When I tested the wiring, I found that one of the volume pots was very noisy and intermittent so I had to pull the whole lot out again and order a new pot.
