Are the knobs normally that far back? Maybe it' just the angle of the photo but they seem a long way away from the bridge to me.
Take a look at the link to the original and you can see that they are.  It is because of the wrap around bridge that they look further away then on a regular LP.

The more important question is how does it sound?

I only had a quick play last night and it was clear i need to raise the polepieces to match the radius better but it was a very promising start.  It sounds pretty much how you would expect, nice amount of grit, loads of sustain... i am happy with that

only thing i was considering changing was the scratchplate, i went for one from WD and chose the thicker black plastic... i like the look of it  like that but i think the originals were much thinner

Let me do some digging at home. I was sure I had an original LP Junior single cut scratchplate, but there are many places that it could be hiding.  I have 4 big plastic boxes with parts in them, so it could be hiding there!
