Hi
The Ruby pre-dates bullet connectors, so the loom should have eyelets or bare ends as required. You might find some black heatshrink and some black cloth tape useful when extending or supplementing the standard loom. Also fine glasspaper to clean the bits that aren't new if they are tarnished.
If you do come across bullet connectors, e.g. maybe lights have been updated from the 1950's onwards, I prefer the solder types to the crimp ones. It's hard to get a decent crimp with the tools available at an economic price.
I like to tin the twisted bare ends with electrical solder before putting them in screw terminals (like the lighting switch, regulator and dynamo) as it stops them untwisting and gives a neater job. Not essential though.
The physical run of the loom is fairly straightforward, I can only suggest you look at lots of photos on the internet (or cars in the flesh) and see what is the most common arrangement.
