All, I have read many posts about this, but just need a little clarification. Also, most links are broken in the old posts.
On a stock charging system 1977 XS650 can I buy the following to replace the original regulator and rectifier? I am wiring from scratch.

Since mine was stock with separate units, I do NOT need to do nylon screws in the brushes, correct?
I lost the old rectifier but I have the original regulator. Should I try using it or just scrap it and use the attached VR115? I did a top end rebuild on this and turned into a "brat" style bike. The bike has not ran in 15+ years. Like I said, I am wring from scratch using stock alternator and a new electronic ignition "XS charge" from mikes. I want to make it easy to wire and hopefully start up easy. I also bought one of the small 0.8AH batteries since this is kick only.
If I go with the VR-115, black goes with black, green with green, and the other two wires go together to brown correct?
