Okay, I didn't see it in the pic. Was just letting you know if you weren't aware. Grounding them probably helped a lot too.

Paul, I cut a hole thru the cover, over the magnet, below the strings. You can't see it in these pictures

Those pickups are supposed to be microphonic.  What kind of can covers did you use? The metal can covers over and under the pickup will interfere with the pickup's magnetic field and make it sound weak or strange unless you use a non-magnetic metal like aluminum, copper or brass. You can get away with it if there is more tin content to the regular cans, but most modern day cans have more steel content.
