Fuel filter relocation, see any issues with this?
Hey everybody, the rubber on my factory mounting bracket for the fuel filter broke so I took this as a chance to relocate my fuel filter. And the best place I could see is where you see it in the picture. Do any of you see an issue with this location? There are no moving parts close to it that can cause issue. The only issue I can see is it's to close to the engine and heat can be a factor. What do you all think? This an ok location for the fuel filter? (I'm not going for looks, just function.)

Also, I don't see an edit button... But if you're referring to the fuel line going to the fuel rail from the filter. It is the factory length I've not actually added any there, and I can see where you'd have concern for it not being supported... I'm sure I can figure out a way to support it better.

I'm not sure about the solid mounts yet, I bought this car as a rolling shell in December. Just got the engine in it 2 weeks ago and have yet to get it fired up for the first time. I expect vibration, but that's ok this is my toy not a daily.

N326-13-363B <-- This is the part you want, but they're kind of pricey for a stupid rubber mount.
86-92 Rx7 Fuel Filter Mount (N236-13-363)
Mine have the same problem, the old rubber just cracked and tore off when I unbolted the fuel filter. Probably just going to replace it with a bolt and some rubber washers.
