Fuel Filter Bracket

Does anyone know where I can purchase a fuel filter bracket?

The Mazda Motorsports fuel system diagram does not show a separate part number for the bracket. I ordered the fuel filter listed as 13-480, but it did not include one. The fuel filter was hanging there on my RX-7.

When I needed the rubber grommet between the intake hose and air filter box, much to much surprise I was able to get that at the dealership for a reasonable price. I would talk with your local Mazda dealership, you might find that it's not too expensive to get it from them.

Otherwise check out the FS section...I'm always seeing S4's and S5's being parted out.

i was wondering to if that braket is really needed, if the filter is connected to a short hose on either side its not gonna move a whole lot, and the only damage i can think of would be a puncture in the side, but theres nothing around it that could puncture it, im thinking.

it used to come with the fuel filter, but over the years they have cut costs... you used to get a japanese filter too

Curious, is the fuel filter black paint now instead of Cadmium plated outside?

Correct, its a black filter now. The original filter N326-20-490 has been superceded with N327-13-480. None of the parts store filters have the bracket. I'm restoring an 86 Sport; I want the bracket so I can sleep at night. I even bought new rubber isolators to mount the filter.
Off to troll the internets for a bracket...
