What's it for?

["Matt Jacquet" <matt@vander-bend.com>]

list,
I removed my oil pan from my stock 5 main R16 last night and found 2 of the
follow bracket assemblies with no apparent use (at least at this point).

Sheet metal bracket with:
 .50 radius on 1 end with .380 threw hole
Joggled to clear oil pan return flange
Fasten to block with the oil pan bolts (10mm drive) with a spacer for
clearance.
Both mount on same side of block below the intake manifold.

Are they retainer clips for the fuel bowl over flow tubes?
Thats just a guess.
