    Would it be that hard to fab one up?

    I haven't seen any new ones.

    Mike, PPI has a new oem bracket. It's about the 29th item down on the engine page. They call it an external fuel filter mounting bracket, obsolete part. I don't know if you have every used them before but they have alot of obsolete ford parts and are great do deal with, I bought alot of stuff from them.

    here is a pic of the part they have.

    You might be better off finding one from a SN95, I just got one from a '96 and its rust free. I looked for some more at the bone yard for those who want, but they werent that great.

    LOL, yeah it wasn't cheap but I guess when you have the last of the oem ones you charge $90 for them :shrug:. I wonder what ford got for them, try steve at tousley ford they may still stock late model ones if those work and they have great prices.

    I'll have to crawl under my '03 and see if it's similar.

    I got one from the Dealer about 5 years ago and I think I paid about $20, but I would say its much harder to find now.
