    What goes to ground? and which two are for the socket jack. Thank you, appreciate the advice.

    Yes, your yellow wire does come from the middle lug of the volume pot. The other end joins to the jack tip.
    One of the black wires will go to the jack ground.
    The other black wire will go to the trem' claw ground.
    The grey wire is the switch ground, the other end can be soldered onto any of the pot grounds.

    Different colour for the switch ground, but like the following picture:
