2pc Filter Bracket 1.750in ALL40193

OVERVIEW

When you''re pushing your air-cooled VW through the dunes or across the track, the last thing you want is a loose fuel filter causing a fire hazard or a fuel delivery failure. This Allstar Performance 2-piece filter bracket is the professional solution for securing your high-flow fuel filters to your chassis or roll cage. Designed specifically for 1.750-inch tubing, this bracket features a split-clamp design that allows for installation anywhere on your cage without the need to slide it over the end of the tube. This is a massive time-saver for existing builds where the cage is already welded and painted, providing a rock-solid mounting point that looks as good as it performs. The dual-bolt clamping force ensures that even in the highest vibration environments, your fuel system remains stationary and secure.

Crafted from premium billet aluminum and finished in a sleek black anodizing, this bracket isn''t just about utility; it''s about elevating the aesthetics of your engine bay or interior. While it is perfectly sized for 2-inch diameter fuel filters, its versatility makes it an excellent choice for mounting other components like external fuel pumps or small reservoirs that share the same dimensions. For the serious VW enthusiast building a sand rail, Baja Bug, or a full-blown drag car, this Allstar bracket ensures that your critical components stay exactly where you put them, even under the most extreme g-forces and vibrations that air-cooled performance entails. Don''t settle for hose clamps and zip ties when you can have a race-spec mounting solution that reflects the quality of your build.

PRO TIPS

1. Prevent Thread Galling

When installing the stainless steel bolts into the aluminum bracket, always apply a small drop of anti-seize lubricant to the threads. Stainless steel and aluminum have a tendency to "gall" or cold-weld together, which can ruin the threads if you ever need to relocate the bracket. This simple step ensures that the bracket remains adjustable and reusable for the life of your vehicle.

2. Vibration Isolation and Sizing

If your fuel filter or pump is slightly smaller than the 2-inch opening, or if you want to add an extra layer of protection against harmonic vibrations, wrap a single layer of thin rubber sheet or a wide piece of heat-shrink tubing around the filter body before clamping. This creates a "grip" that prevents the component from sliding and protects the finish of your expensive fuel system parts from metal-on-metal contact.

3. Strategic Orientation for Flow

Before tightening the clamp onto your roll cage, mock up your fuel lines to ensure the best possible routing. You can "clock" the bracket at any angle around the tube to align the filter inlet and outlet with your fuel lines. Aim for sweeping curves rather than sharp 90-degree turns to maintain maximum fuel pressure and volume, which is critical for high-horsepower air-cooled engines running dual carburetors or fuel injection.
