Wiring a Telecaster for Humbucker and single coil


I have got a mexican tele, and recently was given some stock gibson pups, so thought i woud replace the neck pup on my tele with a gibson 'bucker.

I am reasonably confident that im not the first person to do this, largely as the tele is pre routed to take a bucker, however, i am totally failing to find a wiring diagram for this conversion on the net. Can anyone point me towards one?

also, is there anything else i should think about? i am good with a soldering iron, so no problems there, and was just wanting the standard tele 3 way, but with a humbucker in the neck, not the single. Im assuming there are a few different configurations for the 'middle' position on the selector, so what should i do? (i play post rock, noisy stuff)

I was also going to fit a kill switch.

cheers

toma
