    I recently bought a coopers filter from Supercheap and it came with 2 clips. Might be easier to get one of them. I know you just repalced the filter but you will have a spare for next time.

    Agreed, get a replacement filter from superheap. Make sure you check the box before you buy as people do steal the clips from the box, as what has happened to you is quite common.

    What is the part number??? got this off coopers webstie wz586 for the ls1 an wz578 for the v6 so looks like they 're not interchangeable.
    EDIT: I see you just want to know if the clips will fit. Sorry can't help there.

    the clips that came with my cooper filter are to big to fit into the fuel hose.
    Only choice i can think of is buying a whole new fuel line and just taking the clips out of that :(
