It's probably too late now, but you should get your serial number engraved on there as well. Right now they look like a catalog item. Put your serial number on there and yeah......

Awesome but you should have used T-bolt clamps.

Same here. Can you rotate the clamps to hide the grooves on the wormgear? I would try to show off the engraving as much as possible...just my .02

Plus they last longer. If you overtighten worm clamps too many times, they stop working cause the grooves get all messed up. Don't ask me how I know this. :P
But the engraving does look really cool.

T-Bolt clamps are good but for low boost applications worm gear clamps work fine really.

Met this guy at Hot Rod show last fall. He had some custom engraving under his hood and he offered to some items for me. Kind of slow turn around but please with the quailty of the work. Especially since he had to hand digitize the logo.

I didn't put the serial/VN on these. But I'm working on some other items that will have the VN.

I've always had worm gear clamps on these hoses and never had a problem with them holding. Might consider T-bolt clamps if I decide to upgrade after I get the other engraving work done.
