Does the fuel filter need to be mounted on the chassis? The reason i ask it that i was riveting the fuel hose on the car today and have fitted the filter as the picture below with the filter in between the chassis rails above the driveshaft. I just wanted to check it would be IVA ok like this.

Mine is fixed to the chassis rails with a proper bracket, I was going to fit mine like yours with a piece of ali sheet bridging the gap, but preferred this layout in the end

mines free in line, but it's only a small light weight plastic one (for low pressure carbs...). If it's got any weight to it (when full of fuel) I would make a bracket...

Thanks for the replys. There isnt much weight in it when its full. It doesnt evem move very much by hand.
