I installed the copper alloy brake pipe set about 18 months ago on my Midget.
I saw those green plastic clips and thought for a second, should I paint my
car to match? Then I had another Guinness and came to my senses. I put the
alien looking clips in the spare parts box and used the existing clips on the
car. They worked fine.
BTW, that pipe set is very easy to work with, and I found all the pipes were
the correct length. I was very pleased with the results. I had a bugger of
a time getting the pipe to seat straight into the MC, but that was because of
my inexperience. I didn't want to tighten it too much and strip the fitting.
And that was about the easiest fitting to reach.
Good luck,
