    All the tubing drawn through the holes and finally through the 'f' hole.
    The switch and the pot closest to the 'f' hole can be inserted into place with the fingers and hence do not need to be 'tubed' up!

    The 'bottom tone and volume pot' will be the next in line after the Jack. Both pots are 'tubed' and drawn into position together.

    Only one pot of the second set of 'tone and volume controls' needs to be tubed. The pot closest to the 'f' hole can be inserted with your fingers.

    Returning to the Jack, the jack is pulled into position through the drilled hole.

    An added advantage of the tubing is that with the Jack in place, the washer and nut can be slipped over the tube and will slid down the tube to the Jack. The nut and washer can be tightened without worrying about the Jack falling back into the body and you having to restart that part of the process.

    Once tightened up you can remove the tubing.

    With the Jack in place, insert the Volume and Tone pots through the 'f' hole.
