Thankyou Tom, I wait with bated breath!!

For your own health, that might not be advisable, like I said, it may be quite a while before I come to do mine.  ;D

If you remove the motor from the chassis I think, from memory, it's easy to see the top of the contacts.  These will be the points you solder the red and black wires.  If you then look at the motor there are two spring steel (?) panels at either side of the opposite end to the worm, I think these clip in place to cover the bushes and stop the springs flying out.  These two are where I soldered the orange and grey motor power wires.

The above is done from memory without a chassis in front of me, so details could be a little inaccurate in places, but the principals of the wiring are what I used for mine.

Take the motor out and have a look at how all the pickups and motor contacts fit together, that's how I worked out how to do mine.  I'll try to help more if you need it.
