    Not if you use a shakeproof washer...

    How does it look inside now?

    I do have shakeproof washers but wasnt sure if they would work. Should just give it a try I guess As I can always change it back if not. The insides are partly neater. I tweaked a few things and didnt have the values for components that I needed to hand so used multiple resistors and capacitors to get what I needed. Will wait until I order some more components again for something else and then swap them around. The tape and paper have gone.
    Maintained it for 20 years. This old guitar's had 17 new necks and 14 new bodies in its time.

    I have some clear acrylic washers for 3pdt if you'd like one?  I got them last year from someone on etsy.

    Thanks, I might take you up on that, but first let me try the shakeproof that I have and see how that goes.  I think the chrome might look pretty good.

    The shakeproof washer goes on the inside :).

    Although you can fit a metal dress washer on the outside under the nut as well.

    Oh, yes I have one on the inside but didn't think it would be enough.  I have some studlock - threadlock but stronger, but not so much to make undoing impossible. Might try that as well.

    Fair dues to you @Paul_L, great looking pedal.
