What is this connector into the ignition barrel?

And what wires are which position 1, 2, 3, 4?

Car is a 2000 classic.

Thanks

IIRC Sam,
1) battery supply
2) Accessory
3)Ignition
4)Starter

A test light or multimeter will confirm this.

Do you know which colour is which, i'm wiring in switches and a start button but not sure which is which, might just touch them against the chassis?

Thanks

Please use a test light or multimeter to confirm which wire is which - touching them to ground will result in a dead short and blow a fuse or something worse.
