I have a wiring harness bought on this very platform a few moons ago. I want to use it in my hardtail Strat I have assembled but it has a push/pull pot and I am not sure I really want to use it as a designed - plus, I only have standard knobs.
Can anyone point me to a wiring diagram so that is operates as a normal pot with it pushed down? Or if you can think of a good reason to use it on 3 single coils then I am all ears as long as the wiring doesn't require a masters in engineering... Pic below in its current state (not even sure what this will do if wired in as is...

The connections visible in your photograph are correct for adding one of the pickups to whatever the selector switch has engaged. (Usually, it will be the neck or the bridge position pickup.)
Connect it to either the input terminal of the volume pot or one of the wiper/collector terminals on the selector switch.
Correct. Pull up the control knob to add the neck pickup.
Push to engage, push again to disengage (but you probably knew that already)
These ones sold by Gavin at Axecaster are particularly nice and have a 9mm shaft which is compatible very nicely with CTS holes in pickguards.

Modern variations include a .022uF capacitor for the tone controls and a jumper wire on the selector switch bridging the lower tone control connection to the unused terminal right next to it. The lower control then works on both the middle and bridge pickups.
