Hi Rob
Now that's what I call thinking outside the box. I use the Stens P/N 120-114 fuel line clamps in my small engine shop and had never put the two together. I think the clamp metal may be a little thicker than the original C-clip, but with a little experimenting, I'm sure it could be made to work. All the best,

We humans go through many computers in our lives, but in their lives, typewriters go through many of us.
In that way, they’re like violins, like ancestral swords. So I use mine with honor and treat them with respect.
I try to leave them in better condition than I met them. I am not their first user, nor will I be their last.
