        Very interesting!  I think I have that bracket on my Tiger but not
sure at this moment without looking.

I believe that bracket is C3OZ-9180-A.

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
