Chas, I want to connect my new pump to the frame HP filter like you have done. Is this assembly inside the trunk?
Bob, ever thought about making a bracket large enough for a fuel pump and filter connected together on a plate that has a 90 degree tab on the backside that was predrilled for the tank mounting holes? We could mount the pump and filter on the plate and then bolt the plate (using the 90 degree flange) to the tank mounting bolts. Nice and neat with no fiberglass or frame rail drilling!

Everything you just asked for is right here. I built it into the car been in 1991. The electric feeds the Carter mechanical. It's as easy to do as looking at it. Just get and cut plate, drill, drill trunk wall for lines, bend stainless 3/8 hard lines and fittings and route out the back. Reaching the rubber connections is cake. Just use double screw clamps, 180 deg apart (unlike the crap spring clamps and Pep Boys filter in that other photo) and you will never smell gas fumes. I change the hose every second year because of the crap street gas.
