I don't have a diagram but that would be pretty simple.
Looking from the rear of the pots
Volumes ccw lug to earth on back of pot, cw lug hot from pickup ground from pu to back of pot, centre lug to switch input switch outputs to ccw lug on tone pot, then to centre terminal on jack.
Tone pot centre lug capacitor to ground on back of pot try .047
Ground wire back of all pots to ground tab on jack

cw clockwise
ccw counterclockwise

I don't have a double neck on here ... but these are the various wiring schemes that Rickenbacher employed over the years ...

https://www.horseshoemagnets.net/home/rickenbacher/wiring-schemes

They used a two lug "rheostat" configuration that acts as a varying load on the coil ... works great with the volume only models ... roll off the volume and the tone darkens ... kinda overkill with a tone ...

Most folks opt for the "Modern" wiring that I put at the bottom for comparison ... no interaction between vol and tone

The "hots" from the middle lug of both volume pots ... to the switch.
