Default Starter motor wiring! S2

Hi, again i have been a muppet and dropped the starter motor off the car and replaced it with a new one, but i forgot to take a photo of it so i could remember where the wires go!

Got a negative on one of bolts connecting from battery, but after this i am lost!

Where do the positvies (2 red leads into one crimp) go please,

and the little plug,

and the other cable, looks black but could be wrong, it looks to be a bit scorched so need to re-run it??

Any help/pics would be much appreciated,

Cheers,

Dumpy x

the two reds/lives that come from the battery go to the 13mm nut on your starter motor. the little plug as said above do you mean a female spade terminal?

The plug must be the female spade connector (sort of a smaller vrsion of the end of the HT lead that goes onto the dizzy but plastic rather than rubber), i think i pulled it off a threaded bolt, looks to fit on the smaller one of the two on the starter??

Any idea of the black please bud??

Thaks for your help,

Dumpy
