wiring loom question

I am finishing the wiring of my 1961 mk1 Mini. I bought a brand new loom, but some of the colours of the cables do not match the wiring diagram, or I do not understand exactly where to connect.

Could you give me a hand?

I also bought some bulbs for the binnacle lights, but I cannot get them to sit in place. The bulb holder also look quite different, compared to the original loom.

What type of bulb should I get?

Thank you.

Perhaps this diagram will help

The bunch of black cables with the ring connector need to be grounded to earth.

As for the bulb I would ask the suppler of the loom.

The bulb is the screw in type. GLB987 from Minispares.

If the diagram is to difficult to read;
On the voltage regulator;
E has 1 black wire
D has 2 Brown/Yellow wires
F has 1 Brown/Green wire
A has 2 Brown wire
A1 has 2 Brown/Blue wires

The black grounding wire should be attached to the speedo housing (its the grounding for the lights in the speedo)

Thank you all.

Will attack the loom, with my new found knowledge.
