Dimarzio rail wiring

Hi,
I am installing a Dimarzio Chopper in the neck, a Cruiser in the middle and an Air Norton S in the bridge of my Strat. (All three are rail 4 conductor mini humbuckers) I currently have the standard Strat 5 way, one volume and two tone pot setup.
I would like to be able to switch the neck and bridge pickups from series to parallel with a push/pull pot while leaving the middle pickup alone.
I assume I would use a 500 volume and 250 tone but I am not sure.
I would also like to have one of the tone pots used as a blender if that's possible.

Does anyone have such a wiring diagram?

Thanks
 
With those being humbucker in nature, theoretically you can use 500k pots.  If you're using the traditional VTT5 pickguard/control layout, you can use the push/push pots to activate the series/parallel wiring for each individual pickup.

If you want to use a blender pot, obviously you'll have to ix-nay one of the push/push pots for a dual concentric.

I have an Air Norton S that I'm considering parting with in order to get a Chopper or Pro-Track.  I want a lil more brightness out of a neck pickup.
 
Thanks,
Canceled that whole wiring project. The Chopper, Cruiser and Air Norton S combo are fine they way they are in that guitar. Standard wiring with a blender.

I'm putting together an Ash body with a Pro Track/FastTrack 1/Super Distortion S and I'm thinking just throw a couple of switches in and I and get parallel, series and split coils plus a blender. Never done that extensive a project but what the heck.

Haven't heard the ANS in the neck, but the Chopper works well. I actually blend it with the ANS in the bidge just a bit to get it a little more edgy, or use it alone for a little more smooth jazzy/bluesy thing.
