These came with my BJ8 but I don't recognise them. Any input from you? One is broken and they hold some kind of tube. The clip slides into about a 1/4 inch hole.

There's one type that looks like the kind used to snap on the "brush" for the window. The other one with the long leg looks like the one used to attach the door panels to the doors.
I doubt seriously these are Healey parts. I've had my BJ8 apart down to the last fastener, and don't recognize these. Haven't taken the upholstery apart yet, though, so they may have some use there, but they still don't look 40-50 years old.
They look a lot like ones that came on a Datsun 240Z or other Datsuns. I used to race a 240Z and that kind of clip was used for hard tubing routing and some of the wiring. FWIW

Well the guy I bought the car from used to restore lots of old cars so they could have come from anything. They were in a bag with a MOSS number on it but the number does not match the clips. I guess I put those in a pile of "extra" parts.
There is an upholstery clip shown in the Moss catalog which is similar to what you have. I'd save them till time to put in the new interior, but they would be invisible anyway in that application.
