Is it working at all? I mean, are you getting any sound? More details on what's working and what's not will help with diagnosis.

The "vol kits" in that first diagram are not essential, but if you don't put them in, DO NOT just put wire in their place - simply leave them out. (They are treble bleeders: without them, when you turn the volume down, the sound seems to get a little muddier. These things let more treble come through when you turn the volume down, so as to counteract this effect. Putting that another way, they make the volume control have more effect on the bass frequencies and less on the treble).
