Question nr.1 I have read somewhere that it should be two 7-hole wire ties just for the horn wires. Can someone confirm that?

Question nr.2
Should the "ground bolt" for the roadlamps/negative battery cable be painted in body color?
And is this the correct bolt for this application?
(see picture)
Please,i want to see some reference pictures..

Your horn and radiator captive washer bolts should be black phosphate and your master cylinder cap I believe ? should be dichromate. Not sure on wire looms ? Some others will come in with answers.

wiring looms I know are longer on E-bodies but for the life of me can't remeber if originals were 7 or 9 hole.
battery to radiator support ground bolt is clear zinc not body color
master cap I think was originally dark grey phosphate on 71's with drum brakes.
Also, in regards to the horn bolts, I've seen both these dark bronze AND black phosphate plating on originals . so imo, both would be correct.
Thanks! Im not 100% sure but i think its 7-holes wire looms for the horn wires.But i dont know where to get them..
From my research on 71 cars the wire loom is the shorter 5 hole by the horn.

Original pieces on my 71 340 Cuda convertible:
Wire Straps: All are 7 hole.
Ground cable bolt: Clear (Silver) Zinc
Master Cylinder Cap: Dark Grey Phosphate
Horn Bolts: I have PERSONALLY never seen these in black phosphate, but it certainly could have occurred. Generally, they are found in various shades of black zinc or brown zinc dichromate.
Note on the cap: There are at least 5 different cap configurations (reservoir venting and lettering differences) for this type of master cylinder. The large lettering font cap with NO BALANCE TUBE between the reservoirs is the most common assembly line cap.
