They're by no means bad pickups, and fantastic for the price. I put one in a pine bodied Flying V and it was perfect for that guitar, they also worked well in hollowbodies for rockabilly but I'd be less keen in a Les Paul tbh.
Tonerider say they don't outsource. Haven't had their P90s but it's a preference thing on how hot, price-wise they're close to some of the UK hand-winders, Fletcher and Catswhisker for two, might be worth a look around. A shout in the classifieds might turn up some quality ones s/h as well.

According to the JHS web catalogue, all Wilkinson P90 variants use ceramic bar magnets. The ones on the V100GT are the stacked coil type. This probably explains why their tone is always slightly unsatisfying. (I shall spare you the long, boring explanation.)
If the Wilkinson pickups have four conductor + shield output cable, it might be possible to tweak their tone for the better using a smartarse wiring mod. (Essentially, a partial coil split through capacitor/resistor network.)
Yes. Pre-owned professional quality pickups.
It is difficult to make constructive suggestions without first knowing the depth of the V100GT pickup cavity routs and what fastenings lie on the cavity floors.
