Really need to get the wiring finished on my rebuild.

Using the harness from a ex MOD Ambulance, so there will be a few wires that I dont need. Got some wires identified with help from a friend , got a pretty good idea of what goes to what in engine bay and rear of chassis but struggling with how to wire the dash gauges up. The wires on the left in pic are for heater and wiper motors so they are straight forward its the rest I need help with like Ignition, fuse box, solenoid lights ect.

Just be glad its.not a series 3, the wires behind s3 gauges look like a jungle.

Pic of Gauges and Wires that lead to it.
Got the Ignition barrel to fit to dash and need a new switch for lights.
I know the wires on left of pic go to wiper and heater motors.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to which wire goes where from pics so I can get started on this ?

You'd be wise to ignore colours, they're likely to have been changed at some point in the last 50 years. It won't be hard to trace the wires back to their corresponding plug or component.
 
The original switch in centre of dash switch had aux, ignition whilst the knob switched the light on ,side lights and head lights ,the dip /main headlights switch was a floor mounted button switch and indicators where added later
via a rotary switch mounted on extra panel next to original panel .you can use your ignition switch but you would need a lighting switch for side and head light

if you do use the ignition switch depending on what starter motor is fitted ( pre-engaged have solenoid fitted on starter motor)you will require a starter solenoid to replace the starter switch wired to the ignition switch (the switch is not designed to take the high current on starting )
