Hello guys, I need some help to identify the correct fastener / clips for the capillary oil tube to be fastened to my late model BT7 stand-offs. The clips I ordered seem to be either the wrong ones or not the correct type for the stand-offs.

Moss shows the earlier 6-cyl cars as N/A, but here's what's used on BJ8s. I think your P-clips need to be turned around, and maybe you can drill out a hole to hold the clip?

What's the issue? The capillary tube clips you got from Moss clip on to the vertical brackets. The little ear that you can see on the clip sitting on the intake manifold goes in the hole of the bracket. Let me know if you need a photo.
