Yeah dude. What happened to the one on the car already? Also you could probably just bend a piece of metal and make your own.

You can order the brackets and mounts from Mazda. Of course, they are a different part, so you will need to have the parts guy/girl look up the number.

There must be somebody who is parting out an FC who can pull that braket off and send it to you for a few $$.
Put up a wanted add in the parts forum.

I just screwed a hose clamp to the car and it worked great. My brackets broke when i was removing the fuel filter. Also relocated the thing to make it easier to get to.

If you look at the stock bracket, it is isolated from the frame of the car with rubber bushings. This is to reduce stress on the fllter, and prevent it from rubbing. Clamping the filter to the body will allow it to rub, thus eventually wearing a hole at either the clamping point or where the filter body touches the frame.
