Found this location for the GM Filter/Regulator. I believe it's an unused shock mount? Would like feedback on this, or if there's a better location.
Mk4 with IRS, running in-tank pump, PTFE lines with AN-6 connections and a Holley Sniper. Thank you!

That location should work. Just verify that your fuel tank doesn’t interfere once it’s snugged up. I mounted my fuel filter, though a different one, off the same bracket. I’d also recommend running your fuel lines before mounting it as the direction the in tank hanger points once mounted can make for some interesting turns in your fuel lines.

Not to put a damper on your filter set up but I had one of those GM Corvette filter/regulators and during my first start it regulated fine. 2 days later when I Go-Kart the pressure was at 80 lbs. instead of the 60 lbs. that it's suppose to regulate to. Some others have had problems with them too. It may have been the brand, so I went with the FFR supplied filter and regulator, adjusted it and it's been good since.

I initially had it (just a filter) there before moving it to PS in line with my SS fuel line. Easier from plumbing and future access standpoint.

Thanks for the tip on that! I'm hoping it works, will definitely keep an eye on the fuel pressure.
