What is correct? Clear cad look or yellow zinc? I have 2 clamp
kits from Year One from way back in 1990 and the upper clamps are yellow and lowers clear. Heater hoses a mix.

Set from current day Megaparts.. all darker yellow zinc.

THANKS! Wayne

Yellow zinc cyanide for the majority....I have also seen the zinc/galvanized coating but not bright zinc......plant dependant but still to this day not confirmed.

Thanks Justin... I'll use the old 28 year old YOne's then for the lighter yellow on top and galvanized on the bottom I guess if Megaparts are too dark?. Then resell Jamie's I guess somewhere down the road.
