67 BB Heater Hose Clamp finish help

[Ara G.]

Hi guys, I put a new restoration battery in today and noticed that the clamp that retains the heater hoses to the inner fender well of my 67 BB was needing a re-finish. Is this clamp semi gloss or flat black? Any help would be appreciated as always.

Also, is the battery hold down bolt semi gloss? The battery tray and sheild is semi, so I would guess the bolt is semi as well - but then again I only want to do it once, so I wanted to ask...Thanks again for all the help...ARA

Ara, the last one I saw if memory serves, the hose clamp is flat and battery semi. Bill.

Yes, the clamp appears to be flat black.
The clamp was held in position prior to blackout by the top bolt, therefore, both were blacked-out. Occasionally, a mis-aligned sihouette masking of the bracket can be seen on the inner fender.
The lower bolt was added after hose installation, retaining its zinc finish.
The battery bolt appear to be semi-gloss, but, the finish was actually black oxide.
