What is the correct finish on the two brackets that hold the heater hoses together on an early '65? The Judging Guide states that "a flat metal dark green or black phosphate plated clip ... secures both hoses together [that is] located to the rear of the expansion tank." The JG mentions the other hose bracket
attached to the alternator bracket that is bolted to the exhaust manifold, but does not clarify the finish. The Archives here state that the latter hose bracket is semigloss black and perhaps dip-painted. Do both of these hose brackets have the same finish? If so, how to reconcile the JG referencing green or black phosphate with the Archives here referencing semi-gloss dip-painted black?
