Re: Fuel pipe clips
So you're after the annoying spring loaded ones? They're on evilbay. Search for 251162915816 loads of people selling them, check the size of your pipe before ordering.
To fit them, use any pliers you have to squeeze the lugs together and expand the ring. Slide it over the pipe. Push fit the pipe onto the required spigot, then open up the clip again as before and slide it up to the end of the pipe.
I have a huge selection of special pipe clip tools, but it doesn't make it any easier than just using pliers or pipe grips

Re: Fuel pipe clips
Bog standard fuel hose clips will work, don't use normal jubilee clips as they can just squash just one part of the hose and can leak.
Any motor factors will sell them.
Look like this.
