Brake lines on production cars often use plastic brake line clips that just push in to a hole in the body so yes.
As for fuel lines not sure so i would go for ally rivets, screws or bolts

If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Does anyone know where I can get suitable Nylon rivets for this?

Most places I've looked at will only sell silly quantities at silly prices!

My p-clips have a 5mm mounting hole so I need some with a decent size head, around 5mm, whilst requiring a small mounting hole so I don't have to make 'big' holes in my chassis...........
I'm not too worried about how they mount as long as they are secure.

Any ideas?
