Thanks a lot Ben! All the advice I can get will  go a long way at this point. I don't know where I heard that you want space between components and board but that might explain my lack of space problem.  As far as pot cover go, I'll try the tape fix first, I doubt anything thicker like a cover will fit without a lot of overhaul/space-making. Certainly a learning process on this one I hope it works haha

 Yes they are.  Sounds like that might be a problem? The IC is also touching the board which I was not sure about. über-noobage!

Never mind I just found out how to get rid of the tab. Thanks for the advice!

I have been looking into nixing the tabs and have the backing off the pot. But I still don't see how to get the tab off. Should I just snip it with some wire cutters?

Hi, I'm a beginning builder so I'm not sure what went wrong, but my populated circuit board for the Double Flush Tremolo won't fit in the 1590B enclosure like the build doc says it should. I bought all the capacitors and pots on the parts list (no substitutions). But with the PCB mounted pots underneath and the capacitors on top, the board is too tall to fit in the enclosure.

Can anybody shed some light/expertise on the problem? The problem capacitors are the green and black electrolytic ones. There is a tab on the top side of the pot that would make it sit more flat on the enclosure, is that supposed to be removed? Any help is appreciated! (Even if it's a suggestion to get a different sized enclosure)
