Add these to the mix for holding hoses. May not be the best in all applications but with a barbed fitting they look very tidy.

Here is what I use with a pair of blunted pincers I think the UK name is double eared O clipsView attachment 24548
they come in various sizes once again its worth saying again that we are not dealing with modern oil pressures or even pre unit triumph oil pressures
Pliers for squeezing up CV boot clips are quite cheap to buy and make a good job crimping these. They push against the flats of the ear at the same time as squeezing the side.

The ferrules to the 5/16 oil lines on my 1948 Rapide have 2 crimps on opposite side, running most of the length of the ferrule (not around the ferule). The ferrules are gray in color, not brass, although they could be brass that has been plated with cadmium or zinc or something.

Yes. What tool did you use to make them? I added a photo of one of my oil lines (you can see the texture) and its ferrule. My fuel lines were replaced long ago with the clear plastic fuel line of the day (early 70s), and they are now yellow-brown, very hard, and non-flexible (and no ferrules or clamps on them).
