Are these cheap clips good enough for securing things like electrics, fuel, & brake lines from an iva standpoint?

For brake pipes & copper fuel lines I used 8mm nylon 'P' clips riveted to the chassis.

All the cabling is in conduit which is cable tied through rivet on bases.

I have always used this type of split conduit and clips for wiring in the engine bay . They are really neat and as you remember stuff and add things just open the clip slide in another wire and pop it back in,

When you need a cable to exit the conduit just put a small hole in it on the other side of the split. when 100% done just tape in shut every 300 mm .
