Iris & Dennis
Inlet manifold - grey
Exhaust manifold - natural - you can use pot belly black or HPC coat in cast iron colour
Generator - can be Bosch blue or black if Bosch unit or Black if it is Lucas
Generator pulley - Cad plated
waterpump - grey
fanbelt pulley, fan, vent pipe and oil cap - either all are black or all are grey to match the engine - I prefer them to be black because they break up the all grey look.
Starter motor - body is either Bosch blue or black, solenoid is natural cad finish and nose piece is black
Air filter is gloss black - sticker available from Vic FE FC club for $6
Oil filter depends on brand - one is gunmetal body with natural aluminium top, another has orange body and top while the third has orange body and black top.
bonnet hinges are cad plated and have oil blacked springs
Harmonic balancer is grey

Nothing goes in the spare wheel well.

On my Ryco I used Chev Orange engine paint (available in spray can from parts shops).  That was as near as dammit to the original colour on the filter (in my opinion)
