1967 caliper hardware finishes
CantRepeat:
What are the correct finishes for these parts?
Rod that holds the brake pads to the caliper
The bolts that bolt the caliper halves together
The brackets that bolt to the caliper the hoses mount to
Thanks for the help, again.

Here is a 1967 Disc Assy removed in 1980's and stored in preservative

Thanks for the photos.
Kind of hard to make out the finishes.
Bracket looks phosphate of some kind. The bolts possibly too.
Is the caliper yellow?
169INDY:
The Yellow, Orange and Green & White are inspection Dab's of paint indicating quality or inspection attributes.

This is from the 1967/1968 Camaro Legends Judging Manual. Did not copy photos but the photos are in the Manual
Calipers are painted semi-gloss black. All machined surfaces on the calipers will be unpainted natural metal. The calipers for 1967 and 1968 are a 4 piston design and carry a casting number of 5455533 on the outer half and 5455530 on the inner half. There are two different brake line sizes found on the calipers. It is believed that the early 1967 used a 3/8 inch hex flare nut on the caliper for both right and left. The later 1967 and all 1968 used the 7/16 inch hex flare nut on the left side caliper and a ½ inch hex flare nut on the right side caliper. All of the mentioned lines use a 3/8 inch hex flare nut for the hose end of the spring wound steel line that connects the two together. The caliper is mounted using two 7/16 inch coarse thread black finish hex head bolts and lock washers. With the upper bolt retaining the semi-gloss black painted special bracket to secure the hose using a black “U” clip. The bleeder valve is silver zinc/cad plated and does not use any type of cap. The caliper brackets are yellow cad/zinc plated and numbered 3913798R and 3913797L.
