mounting a fuel pressure regulator
blakep82 - 26/6/09 at 10:56 AM

i've got a regulator, which has a good weight to it, but no brackets to mount it to any bulkhead or anything.

will it be ok to attach with P clips on each fuel hose? will it wobble around too much?

mine is just zip tied for now whilst I get the car setup but I'll be making steel brackets for it soon

if i weighed it right, which i probably didn't, its 220g which is a fair bit i think

i'm thinking hose clips holding the hose on, which is normal, and the mteal P clips right next to them to try and get a hold on the ends of the unions?

At the very least I'd zip tie it to something although it depends how near the regulator it's P-clipped.... As long as there's not enough give in the tubes to allow the regulator to pull itself off it'd be okay.

p-clip it in, it'll be fine

Decent P clips (pref. the rubber lined metal type) near the inlet and outlet will be ok, seen lots mounted this way.

The two halves of the regulator are held together with screws IIRC so if you are feeling really keen you could fabricate a nice bracket that attaches via some of these screws.
