    Thanks for the quick reply.
    No. The cardboard cover’s long edge slip into the metal slot on rear side of the fuse panel. The clips only purpose is to hold the hose. Rob

    The cardboard panel is held by the pressure of the formed bow shape it is, held between the rear bulkhead of the battery box in front, and a welded boss that forms a slot in back...

    I think that the clip is for cars with the Euro gas tank vent system. My Italian 73S has one.

    these images are from an extremely low mileage un-restored car....It was on the registry, and there are some here that know its history, etc.
    it was a transparent tube that goes thru the clip.

    and for more trouble...see the cardboard on top of the battery....first and only i have ever seen.

    I believe that the tube that is in the clip comes from the brake fluid reservoir and goes to the front bulkhead. I have also seen some cars which vent the LF fender vapor canister through this clip but I do not believe that this is correct. Interested in other comments.

    Lot of confusion here re: what goes through the clip on the cardboard cover. Many “low mileage” cars with various tubes placed there. My research informs that the small wrapped cannister hose is the one. Unfortunately the 700 mile 911S car had the cardboard removed so I know of no unadulterated car for reference.
    See this image from PET, #14 is the clip.

    The clip goes in the centre hole and holds the hose per the picture above. The cardboard itself is held against the side of the battery box and the bracket on the other side.

    The clip is used to hold part "22" in the PET diagram above. "22" goes to different places, depending on year of car and market.
    In earlier cars, before the charcoal canister, it goes straight overboard behind the washer pump through a hole in the body. This is also the case for RoW cars into later years.

    Not so sure about that brake fluid overflow hose going there. Here is the 700 mile car, with authentic white ziplocks holding that tube. Looks to be original placement.

    Pre 1970 (before the 700 mile S), brake reservoir overflow went into "12" in your diagram. It's "49" in the 65-69 PET diagram (below).
    I think your example Italian market car follows the same diagram. The line in your Italian trunk compartment pic is "51" in this diagram
