MG MGB Technical - Pic Needed or Directions

Gentlemen,

Does anyone have a picture of the wiring on the back of the turn signal switch?

A 1978 MGB that the previous owners have butchered, had two dash switches installed to act as turn signal switches, in order to bypass the nonworking steering column mounted switch. I'm installing a new wiring harness throughout the car, and have come up against a puzzler of sorts.

I need to know where the push on pin type wiring connectors go for the high and low beam headlights. Which wire goes where? As well, I need to see the positions of the 3 wire spade connectors that push into the back of the switch for the turn signals.

If anyone can help me out, it would save me a lot of time and grief. Many Thanks!

Gene

Are you just trying to connect up the wires to the back of the switch again - I have a spare and could easily send you a pic.

There should be one or two multi-plugs on the main harness and the switch harnesses that just push together, and the wire colours should follow through.

Roger,
You are so correct! That is exactly what I need! On this car someone has pulled the wires from their pins. As well I could use a pic that shows where the 3 wire spades go that are for the turn signals. The previous idiot/owner pulled them from the back of the unit as well. I have all of the wiring harness for the unit and all of the pins and spades are still there. I just need to know where everything goes to speed up the reinstallation process.
