Wiring Plans - Hot Rodded Strat

Hello there from a newbie. Can anyone out there help me with wiring schematics. I have searched high and low and found some similar on the web but cant find the exact plan I need. (I am not an electronics expert or I would use these and adapt them but that is beyond my abilities!)

I have a 1991 *** made Strat which is a mod version with two standard S/C pick ups but a Dimarzio Humbucker in the bridge position (big Rush fan and got it when Alex Lifeson did this to one of his Strats - it was called a 'Sportscaster' I think?). The Volume and bottom tone pots look standard but the centre tone pot is a push/pull that splits the Humbucker coils i.e turns one off and basically makes it a S/C etc.
I bought it new but cant find the original paperwork or remember the exact function of the push pull pot?! (I think the above is right though).

Anyway, its in need of an overhaul and bit of TLC and while I am doing it I thought I would replace some worn wiring etc. I have photographed and labelled the set up but would really like to get my hands on a wiring plan for my own indulgence and future reference. Can anyone help me with this?
Many thanks.

The Seymour Duncan website has quite a good selection of wiring diagrams as does the Fender website. If you poke around at either site I am sure you will find what you need.

PS - Welcome to the forum. Looking forward to getting to know you.
