'77 CR250 nuts, bolts and other questions about original finish

[Houredout401]

I would appreciate any info or direction on how to figure out a few items:

1. Correct nylock nuts. I can determine from the parts diagram what were flanged and non-flanged but what were the correct nylock color(s)? I see both blue and red out there on the interweb.

2. Was the brake pedal and brake pedal rod painted silver, or were those plated parts?

3. Engine brackets - painted or plated?

4. Footpegs - painted or plated?

5. front exhaust bracket clamp (the one that clamps to down tube of frame) - plated or painted?

5. Cables - were they grey or black?

6. Frame - were they powdercoating in '77 or was it regular paint?

7. Number plate mounting brackets - plated or painted?

This may, or may not help, but ..... I am stripping a 78 390WR to build into my auto racer. Going by my other 390WR as well ....

2. Was the brake pedal and brake pedal rod painted silver, or were those plated parts? Painted

3. Engine brackets - painted or plated? I think the originals were clear anodized.

4. Footpegs - painted or plated? Both of mine were painted.

5. front exhaust bracket clamp (the one that clamps to down tube of frame) - plated or painted? Painted

5. Cables - were they grey or black? Not sure on that one, as mine have been replaced over the years with black ones.

6. Frame - were they powdercoating in '77 or was it regular paint? Paint. Whatever is was is very good as my Nitromors paint stripper had little or no effect.

7. Number plate mounting brackets - plated or painted? Painted.
Husky never changed much between 77 and 78, so hopefully this is still applicable to yours. It still amazes me with the quality of the paint finish. There never seems much of it, but it lasts so well.
Claude (Visiteur1948) will probably be able to add to this.

Can anyone else chime in on brake pedal rod (have seen NOS that were plated not painted) or cables (fiche shows those old style ones that have the oilers were they grey or black?)
