    Draw the pots into place and using the same process as with the Jack, slide the washer, volume and control indicators and nut over the tubing and allow it to drop down onto the pot. Tighten up and then remove the tubing.

    Draw the remaining 'tone and volume' unit through the 'f' hole and position the tubed pot into place. Using your fingers position the last remaining pot before turning your attention to the switch.

    Nice one Gavin

    I will be filing this away and if I ever need to wire up a hollow body again, I will be using this method.

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Here is a quick picture of the two tubed pots about to be pulled simultaneously into place. This is fairly important if you don't want to rip the earth wires of the pots!

    Position the switch through the 'f' hole with your fingers and get it into position.

    Holding the switch in place supported by your finger insert the washer and nut and tighten.

    ...and there you have it. Everything installed in a matter of minutes instead of the hours of frustration that some of us had to endure.
    No where on the internet or elsewhere have I seen this method used to I claim this one as a first in the world for Pitbull Guitars!!!

    Genius solution! Well done! I actually feel somewhat confident about attempting this kit now....
