Andy,
There is another metal bracket that mounts to a bolt in the block at the front
corner of the engine. Its attached with a horizontal bolt near where the
dipstick enters. If I ever replaced it I might try to make it out of phenolic
or some material that would better insulate the fuel line from the block.
I can attempt a photo to take a if that might help.
Regards,
Paul.

Tom:
Thank you so much for the picture; I hope it wasn't too much trouble. That will
certainly help me, however, with my fuel line routing. I take it that is the
only bracket on the line? Is there no means of support as the line passes the
side and/or front of the engine? If not, I would just assume it would hang from
the fuel filter connection with the carburetor feeder line, right?
Thanks again,
Andy
