All the same Honda part number - 93892-0501608.
But is anyone clever enough to spot the odd one out?
I know we have some brains on the forum so if you are not sure, chance your arm with a guess.

Yes - in fact I don't really know what it is....it was just there and you got in the way....
I can see it in your box......a damp patch.

Haha - you might be able to toss it at someone else.
I was gifted by Steve some weeks ago with a water melon and just realised I could use it as a weapon.

the odd one out is plated in yellow passivate, that is supposed to offer better resistance to corrosion over ordinary zinc  |

Scott, on your mopeds, do you often see the yellow zinc? And also the so called drab olive?
My gut is that these processes were more 1980's but was just curious if you knew what finishes (on screws etc) your 1970's machines had from new.

Drab olive is unusual on Honda's I thought, my SD has a couple of bolts on it for holding the clocks on. Its more a yamaha thing, bikes like the XT550 have the footrests, brake pedal and loads of nuts n bolt in drab olive.
On the ss50's most of the plating is bright zinc, usually its things like the centre stand spring bracket, stand springs etc that are yellow passivate. theres not a lot of it.

Drab olive Honda seemed to adopt from around 1981 on things like rear sprocket guards, battery cages and chain adjusters (for example).

Chain adjusters ?!  - surely they are chromed on the quality machines..............  Yamaha used it a lot seem to recall the DT175MX had most of its fasteners in drab olive . |
