400 fuel pipe fitting does it need a clip at the carb end?

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
To cut a long story short I have had to do some re-routing of my fuel pipe from carbs to the tank as I was not happy with the in-line fuel filter arrangement.

My new pipe is a larger o/d with the right i/d it was a tight fit in between the carbs but I somehow managed to fit it after some fiddling to get it over the bulge part & fully down.
I can't get any sort of clip in place at the moment. (I did this with the air box etc still in place working from the top with the petrol tank removed.

Is it essential to fit a clip of some sort or is there a trick method of securing it if necessary?

Johnwebley:
Ideally a clip is icing on the cake,

But if the pipes are snug, don't bother,

Been thinking I might be able to drop a small cable down into position and give it some tension. 😊

improvise and lockwire it Ted.

Lobo:
Ted, why the in-line fuel filter? What’s it actually achieving other than grief wrt pipe routing?
As I recall there was little precious space routing the fuel line, and yep the book does show clips both ends plus of course the heat shield.

Would it not be easier to ditch the filter and perhaps source a lesser OD pipe for peace of mind?
