I'd strongly suggest you go for P-clips for your fuel line, screwed to the 
frame rails in such a way that the fuel line itself is above the bottom edge 
of the frame rail so it has at least some protection from hitting rocks or 
debris in the road. Personally, as a concours judge, I'd give you a pass on 
that arrangement, since the original clips really to put the fuel line, and 
you, in jeopardy.
