Adding a killswitch?

I'm a gimp, could you knock me up a little wiring diagram?

 :)

Also, how can you guarentee the tone control won't move? I know it's a bit of a stretch but isn't there some chance while it's rattling around in the cavity that it might turn a little?


I basically used the wiring instructions from this vid - http://youtube.com/watch?v=LUpkQ8wb4j4&feature=related .
  I, obviously  didn't drill the extra hole that the video-maker did though, as I used the tone pot hole.
   I have wrapped the "internal" tone pot with insulating tape to ensure it doesn't get turned at all. I also packed out the cavity with bubble wrap, to stop any rattles, or any false connections being made by the tone pot moving around inside.

Nicely done, sounds good. Ta.
