Re-wiring a Fender Super-Sonic

I got one of the Pawn Shop Super-Sonics awhile ago for a good price but the electronics required some work. I've bought a replacement switch, a jack and two pots and I now need to reconnect everything! My soldering skills are okay but I've never attempted much beyond a pickup change before.

I took some pictures of the original arrangement of wires but I probably should have drawn a diagram too! Is this essentially what I need to follow? http://www.seymourduncan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/2H_3G_2V.jpg

Yeah, that should work. Are those pickups 4 conductor or 2 conductor?

4 conductor, I believe.

I think I've worked out how things should be connected now but I'm not sure where I should attach the two ground wires that are fixed to the body. Maybe a pot and the jack?

I've just got my hands on a red one. Had to get it sent over from America but I really dig it. I'm gonna re-wire mine with two tone pots and (hopefully) push/pull series parallel switching for the Humbuckers.

I found thus site had some really useful info.
