HPS Performance makes a great hose clamp. The slot has deep engagement for a slotted screwdriver, deep engagement also for a socket. The inside band is slightly rounded to avoid any hose damage where there is contact. The size is also engraved on the clamp (in millimeters).

I heard back from Jon Bond Performance. A week early in fact. Having no knowledge of the history of the supercharger, I was relieved to find out everything was ok.
I chose Cerakote over traditional powder coat for its high heat resistance.
I will call JBP next week to confirm some small details.

I finally gathered all the small parts and pieces. I’ve had the supercharger back from the rebuilder for a while now. I will be sure to post detailed photos here shortly.

The unit was shipped back loosely assembled. This is because it needs to be taken apart during installation. A little friction coating was applied to the rotors. I wasn’t expecting the bronze color but I really like it.
Everything that could be replaced was replaced.
My vacuum switch was in working order, but it was fairly rusty so we had that replaced as well.
The topcoat is cerakote satin aluminum. It might be a little shinier than I was hoping, but I’m sure it’ll be just fine.

The view from the throttle body side.
Nice looking piece. What's the reasoning behind this? The machined lip?

Functionally, there is no need for it. It’s purely cosmetic. Eliminating hose clamps where I can.
