Fuel filter mount, pt. 1
Here are a couple of shots of the fuel filter mount bracket being fabricated. The small 'L' at the top serves as a mount for the glow plug relays. The third mount point is attached to half of the stock Isuzu bracket, not shown. I'll post a photo of the whole assembly, painted and installed, in the near future.
I relocated the filter assembly because mounting it in the stock location (the 1988 chassis has provisions to mount the filter assembly from the 1986 diesel Trooper using the factory brackets) was not possible due to interference with the 4JB1-TC intercooler and the fact that I want to keep the passenger fender free for use as a vegetable oil tank location.
The bracket locates the filter assembly forward of the brake master cylinder on the driver's side fender and allows the glow relays to hang next to the clutch hydraulic line damper box.
