1h 1m
A film of two parts.... first off we fit a 50's wiring loom before trying out two sets of custom wound PAF's through some hot tubes. It was a bit emotional but ended on a high with some great tones and a few lessons learned on your behalf. Join us to see what happened!
Here are links to all the parts fitted in this video all of which I paid for as I am not affiliated to any of these suppliers.
