Fuel filter mount ?

[Stan Gillis]

I enclosed a couple of pictures on my present fuel filter setup on my 73 911T with CIS. Found it hanging down with no support of any kind. I now have it hanging horizontal with a tie wrap supporting it's weight.

Doe anyone have a picture or description on how it should be mounted properly,

Thank you,
Stan

Here is one picture I found. It's not an easy issue since the original filter is no longer available. Here is a link for one fix.
Updating A 1973.5 911T Fuel Filter
Originaly, the fuel line from the accumulator to the filter was shorter and a hose clamp held it to the bracket shown with the arrow.

Thank you, Ed

It looks like I need to take the fuel filter to a store and get the correct clamp to mount and cut the hose to make up the differents. When I tried to alinged the filter to that mount the hose would bend and shut off the fuel supply. I think the original supply hose from the accummultor to the fuel filter was made of metal with the bend and fittings on each end.

The larger filter is NLA. I made a bracket and attached it to the shock tower bolt. You'll have to extend the hoses.

Stan, when I had my '74, which is pretty much identical to the '73.5, I ran into a problem with not being able to source an original filter. Here is a link to an article that shows how it's supposed to mount and my solution to the NLA filter. Hope it helps. -John

NLA Fuel Filters

Stan,
Since the original filter is nla, you could order the replacement, Pelican Parts - Product Information: 911-110-176-02-M14
and see about a fuel line replacement. Then look into mounting it depending on what is needed, like HarryD used in the link I posted earlier.
The second is Luftwaffle's method. It looks a lot simpler, but some don't like the idea of using Fram products. Personal choice, I have no opinion on the Fram filter.
When I had the 3.2 in my 1973, I went a little overboard. I took some stainless sheet metal and fabricated a panel using the original mounting points. I bought fuel line and metric fittings from BAT BAT - MOCAL Oil Control Systems and made my own lines. Many choices. That is one of the issues with old cars and NLA parts.

Here are a couple of photos of my '74 fuel filter. It looks like the bracket is there (in your car) but the fuel filter is just a few inches to the right. Maybe shortening the fuel line that goes to the fuel filter will get your filter in the correct position.






My car has the fuel filter update kit and uses Bosch 0 450 905 003 which is slightly different that the one that Ed Sully posted a link to. Pelican sells both.
