Guy,
No new pics as the wife was using the Digicam as she was away for the weekend with friends.
I had the same concern about the filter. The filter itself is very heavy glass. But I intend on mounting up it inside the frame rail. Randy mounted his there also and then constructed a shield for it. So i may do the same. He is going to send me over a picture of what his looks like for reference. I was also going to slit a piece of appropriately sized hose, and put it over the outside of the filter to give it a little protection from getting bounced around.
I will post some pictures next time I get back underneath there when the new pump arrives. Also I do have the OEM filter that is just ahead of the carb in the engine compartment. This new rear filter is really to catch any additional crud that make come out of the tank in the future. Better to catch it here than have it clog the mesh filter inside the mechanical fuel pump up front. Also this filter is reusable unlike the plastic inline type. So I can unscrew it, rinse out the element, and put it back together.
Here is a pic of the type of filter I am using:
