Fuel and brake line fixing - poll
What is the best way to fix the fuel and brake line clips?
Obviously rivet would be easier but makes removal more difficult.

I would avoid to many rivnuts.
The oem clips look ideal and the easiest to use.
Drill hole and plonk the bush in, stick clip into that .
I would try them if starting again.

I used these ^^^ it's also far easier if you have to take the lines off for any reason as you just snip the cable tie. I also used them for my
loom - great for hiding the loom if you put them on the underside of your rails. Also good where the loom and cabling goes around corners.

i don't think any inspector would be impressed if he saw cable tied fuel lines!  
do it properly, for fuel lines use rubber insulated p-clips rivetted to the chassis
for brake lines, do the same as fuel lines or use the clips big wasa has pictured

Bases have to be screwed on or is a fail, much better and quicker use OEM style plastic pop in clips, as big_wasa suggested. You can also get similar
types that clip both brake and fuel lines or twt brake lines.
