alright im planning on doing this today, and i have a few questions. i plan on doing a write up, since i cant seem to find one where the links not dead.

this is a list of what im going to but so far

5/16" fuel line (should about 3 feet be enough?)
fuel filter
hose clamps

and heres the kicked what is the recomended method of securing the bracket?
ive seen rivits, bolts and a tapped hole, and also even bolts and nuts. any opinions

 

First where do plan on relocating it?

I would personally do the bolt with the tapped hole but if i couldnt do that i would use the bolt and nut method second.

 

I just used worm drive clamps to clamp the filter to the reat subframe.

 

I use the nut and bolt method because the subframe is thin and useing 6mm .1 pitch tap will not leave very many threads in the hole . I use a nyloc nut and have never had any of them come loose . Good skill to you .

 

Use a pair of large clamps to secure it to the bottom front section of the rear subframe, tuck it out of the way so it's safe from road debris. stick a section of rubber in between the filter and the frame.

 

I riveted it.

 

this project has got to go on hold, due to the fact that apparently noone in the entire charleston metro area has a fuel filter for an FD BULLSHIT!

 

Get used to it. Most places stock two things for FDs....jack and ****.

Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda is your friend, 888 533 3400. You're close to him so you'll usually get next day shipping, he offers club pricing, and he owns a modded FD so just describe to him what you want

 

buy a miata fuel filter, exactly the same except for a slight bend in the outlet.

 

I get the filters for the ones I put in at Advanced Auto Parts for under $ 10 .Check the micron size and the pressure rate . I do not like the 180 degree bend in the stock part.,My system does not have a 90 degree bend fitting in it .
