This is the standard 12A one. part # E508-13-470 for 1981-1985. I like running the metal one just for the safety of it. Do you still have the fuel pump cover plate? This sits outside of it and has a wire hanger. I;m also not so fond of the wire hanger so I also add zip ties.

Rock Auto has a bunch of this style but probably cheaper just to go to a parts store once shipping is added in. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...el+filter,6200

I don't see a metal one for the 12a, only 13b.

The 79 and 80 RX-7 had a metal fuel filter. One of the changes in the FB design from 1981-1985, was the addition of a plastic fuel filter. The GSL-SE does have a metal fuel filter as well, but that is due to the increased fuel pressure needed for the fuel injected 13B.
