Tom:

Thank you so much for the picture; I hope it wasn't too much trouble.  That will certainly help me, however, with my fuel line routing.  I take it that is the only bracket on the line?  Is there no means of support as the line passes the side and/or front of the engine?  If not, I would just assume it would hang from the fuel filter connection with the carburetor feeder line, right?

Thanks again,
Andy
