Decided to bolt it all together to see how it is coming along. Bit of a shock first time, in that the beck fitted the pocket very poorly. Took it back off and shimmed either side, top with two strips of cereal packet, bottom with one. This seemed to line it up much better, and then when I screwed it back on it was much better. Strange, as it was still using all the original holes.
Still need to do all the electrics, and get a new nut - the old one is a bit grotty.

That looks amazing. Can't even see the crack. You lucked out with the grain of the wood, I think.
