Could be the clips are tighter now than they were before heat caused plasticiser
evaporation and shrinking of the plastic to occur.

The later twin-carb engines have a double holder for just the two wires that go
to the LH cylinders and a single for the coil HT lead, on a smaller bracket than
the earlier ones.  The little single roll clip formed from the oil-cooler tin is
for the fuel line.
I don't know how similar this is to the older ones.
