Hi Guys

Can anyone assist me? I have purchased ignition switch wiring for my 1971 Super Bug. I would like to know where the wires connect to the fuse box. I have attached a picture of the six wires. The car did not have an ignition switch when purchased. I have a wiring diagram but I am not sure. Pictures would help as I am more of a visual person. Does it need all six wires? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The 2 small ones, grey and brown/blue aren't used, theyre part of the key in/door ajar warning buzzer that wasnt hooked up in aus.

The big red one is the battery power in and goes to the unfused side of the #8 or #9 fuses, black is ignition out and goes to the unfused of the #11 or #12 fuse, black with yellow stripe is headlight power and goes to the unfused side of the #10 fuse.

And the last one goes to the starter motor, usually red with a white trace but must be black/red on this one.
