[Healeys] Fuel line clips

[Bob Spidell]

The Moss catalog shows the 'hairpin' style clips for BT7s up to car# 17351, and P-style clips thereafter.

I got the hairpin style clips for our BN2 from Moss, but they weren't correct (same problem you noted, plus they were 
too 'wimpy' for lack of a better term).  BCS has better ones, but they ain't cheap (about $4 each).

I wouldn't be surprised if, when Austin changed to the P-clip, they left the holes for the hairpin clips.
