mounting a fuel pressure regulator
i've got a regulator, which has a good weight to it, but no brackets to mount it to any bulkhead or anything.
will it be ok to attach with P clips on each fuel hose? will it wobble around too much?

i know! she's the bees knees! she was sitting nice so i got the camera out, as soon as i took the picture it all started kicking off, she
licked her face and decided to jump up on the sofa lol think she's kinda mid flow there
anyway,
 
Description
if i weighed it right, which i probably didn't, its 220g which is a fair bit i think
i'm thinking hose clips holding the hose on, which is normal, and the mteal P clips right next to them to try and get a hold on the ends of the
unions?

At the very least I'd zip tie it to something although it depends how near the regulator it's P-clipped.... As long as there's not
enough give in the tubes to allow the regulator to pull itself off it'd be okay.

Decent P clips (pref. the rubber lined metal type) near the inlet and outlet will be ok, seen lots mounted this way.
The two halves of the regulator are held together with screws IIRC so if you are feeling really keen you could fabricate a nice bracket that attaches
via some of these screws.
