[Tigers] Fuel line support bracket

[ironbeast at comcast.net]

Andy, 
There is another metal bracket that mounts to a bolt in the block at the front corner of the engine. Its attached with a horizontal bolt near where the dipstick enters. If I ever replaced it I might try to make it out of phenolic or some material that would better insulate the fuel line from the block. 

I can attempt a photo to take a if that might help. 

Regards, 
Paul.

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
