Spector Rebop with EMG HZ wiring question

Looking for a little help with my first EMG parts swap (not that I have a lot of p'up swap experience).

Rebop 5 came with EMG HZ pickups, 5-pin on the back. I want to replace the TonePump with the EMG BQC HZ System (HZ vs. non-HZ BQC is the blend control resistor).

The part that got me stumped ... EMG diagram shows terminated wires coming from the pickups, but doesn't show the pickup end of the cable. The BQC System came with cables, but none have more than two-pin terminators. The directions say I can just "use the new wires included", but I'm not sure which pins on the back of the pickup to use with the new cables. Also, the diagram says something about white/black "tubing", but none of the included wires have black tubing, only white (there are two with white). Any pointers are appreciated.

The EMG pickup wiring doc didn't help.

Beginning to think it'd just be easier to solder like the way it is now.

Thanks!
 
Not familiar with those 5-pin HZ connection wires, and not sure I'm understanding the question, but here's how the 5-pin wire should be hooked up on an HZ pickup:

Then you should be able to hook up your BQC accordingly.

If you have any other questions, EMG CS will be glad to help during west coast business hours.
