Plumbers's tape will tend to flex out of shape. It's not rigid enough. I copied MetroMPG and used copper pipe, cut and hammered into shape, for the clips. I also made some clips from used aluminium gum boxes. When I folded them to create rigid reinforcement in the folds they held alright. I still use a couple that have been on the car maybe two years.
BTW, your diagram is my exact set up.
