Hi Nitro, Simon is right in that it is easy to flip the orientation provided there is enough cable length and the PUP rout is deep enough to bring the cable down from the low E side.

Hmmm, Multimeters? I am no expert either but there should be a section that measures impedance and on mine I just kept flicking the rotary switch until it started giving me a reading and then moved it a couple more notches until I found something that gave a set of numbers that made sense - anything from 6.0 up to 15.0 or maybe even higher on these bad boys.

Edit: when doing the coil splitting on Entwistles and Toneriders they specifically mentioned splitting to screws on one and slugs on the other as this gives slightly different sounds - Slugs on the Bridge & Screws on the Neck. When I did the Splits on the EX-5 humbuckers it did not like the opposing wiring and ended up doing them the same. You may be in for a bit of experimentation before you get the sounds you want and which way they are facing may not have as much of an impact to their sound.

ok, cheers. Im going withe warmans standard 3 way split wiring diagram first then i might experiment. will leave out the phase reversal switch though.

Ok thanks will have a play around.
