I have no idea what a claw is or what you are asking.
Can you post a better clear description of what you are seeking?

Thanks Glenn.
A oil line support known as a "claw". Would have been a helpful description.
For us uneducated!

am sure i posted for oil line sorry i do not include it attach to the number 4 exhaust port. i figure if you knew what it was and the exhaust system was you would knew if it work. it kind of a tight space in the area. maybe a little high-end for you |

I've never used those type clamps and don't plan to. maybe they work just fine but I don't trust running rubber hoses through a piece of metal that's mated to the exhaust. that clamp has to have some serious heat transfer?

I've gotten out of my Baja Bug at night out in the desert or up in the mountains away from city lights after driving about an hour on at freeway speed to find a glow in the back from the header pipes for several inches out from the heads glowing orange. And you think it might be OK to hang your oil lines off those studs?
No thank you. Nor would I mount an oil cooler on one of those. They might be fine for a show car to keep things neat. But on a car that gets used...I don't think so.

I meant to write:
"Nor would I mount an oil FILTER on one of those."
There are brackets like those hose support brackets made to mount an oil filter on. I would not use one of those either.
