Help wiring Nordstrand preamp in my Warwick

Newbie to the wiring world and I'm attempting to wiring my 88' Thumb with the Nordstrand 3 band preamp and in order to avoid drilling any additional holes, I picked up a Noll vol/blend stack with push/pull (going to be active/passive), a Noll eq stack with push/pull (hoping to be use this for a series/parallel switch) and then a Noble 50k w push/pull (mids freq select)
Noll Prewired 500K/220K Volume/Blend Stacked (Push/Pull) Control - Best Bass Gear
Noll 50K Stacked Tone/Tone (Push/Pull) Control - Best Bass Gear
Noble - EQ Pot - 50K Push/Pull - Best Bass Gear
I think I've got the active/passive switch right but I'm scratching my head on the series/parallel switch. Noll offers no diagram for that pot. Do the DPDT generally have the same lug layout? I'm just trying to get all my ducks in a row before I slap everything together.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
 
The Noll push/pull pots have the same 6 terminals as normal push/pull pots. Think of it as two sets of terminals, with three terminals in each set - there's a left set and a right set. On a normal push/pull pot, the terminals are in a vertical column. On a Noll, they're in a little triangle - the middle terminal on each set is off to the side instead of right in line.

Other than adjusting for that, you can wire them the same as any other push/pull or switch.
