. . . would be to move the filter to the driver-side of the engine (
MUCH cooler, pic 2) and perhaps tie-wrap it to the accelerator linkage bracket outer hole to secure it. All you'd need is a two inch length (2") of original nylon fuel line and two hose clamps in addition to what you already have . . . nothing else!
Here's how:
1. Make single cut in existing fuel hose on driver-side 1" below accelerator linkage bracket and place new hose clamps over each end of hose just cut.
2. Loosen hose clamps on both sides of fuel filter and remove filter.
3. Insert 2" nylon fuel line halfway into carb-side hose of just removed filter and secure with existing hose clamp.
4. Butt both ends of filter hoses together over nylon line and secure with second existing hose clamp.
5. Back on driver-side, orient fuel filter, push hoses over filter nipples on each side and secure with new hose clamps.
6. Tie-wrap or otherwise secure filter in place, as necessary.
. . . simple, no?!
