Two words to go with your gold:  torque and Locktite.

 

Otherwise, no matter how pretty they are, they're gonna fall out and/or snap.

what color goes best with gold? Blue or Red? 

[Son of Marty]

Use blue there you'll probably have to disassemble it at sometime and the socket heads are easy to round off when you break them loose with just the blue red would be overkill there.

Don't recall seeing that clip on any axles I have wrenched?.

Your right that's the clip that holds the Johnson rod into the Knutter Valve

Knutter valve that's located in the bunghole tunnel.

In that general area it depends on the year and model

Suggest you do a ‘stress test’ on those bolts before installing them (such as, torque them to and beyond spec). I’ve seen instances where 10.9+ hardware is more prone to hydrogen embrittlement ... that makes them weak, and they break. -KB

Nice Neil Young reference.  I'm sure those babies will work just fine.  Look great too.  

 

I believe that clamp lives at the top of the dip-stick tube.

I'd say silver & blue (to go with the gold),  It's the color of the sky I'm told.
