I used an original fuel filter bracket and cut drilled it to fit on the turret (could be neater but its secure).
You can get the lines from Crazy Quiff or get them made up by somebody like Pirtek, they have outlets everywhere, usually for industrial applications. I took the ends off my old lines in with me and gave them the lengths i wanted them to run. Not sure what position the CQ ones would put the fuel filter in
Hope this helps

I positioned it so that most of the air will come from the LHS which i figured would be colder (non engine side), eventually i will run a hose from the front spoiler to direct cold air into this area…. one of the jobs on the list !!
