'81 fuel filter and shield

Post by rjkoop »

Does anyone have a close-up picture of the fuel filter and shield on an '81. Mind was definitely missing a rubber spacer (I had it and 2 metal washers on 1 side but nothing on the other) and I want to ensure I have it correct. I see the mounting bracket attached to the car, a metal washer, a rubber washer, another metal washer, the clamp around the fuel filter, the shield and the long 10mm bolts. Do I need 2 rubber washers on each side? Not sure. A picture would be great.

I know this is an old post, but I think AR has a diagram on their web site at the page where they show the rubber standoffs needed to mount both the fuel filter and the fuel pump. 2 for the filter, 1 each side, and the same for the fuel pump. 4 total req'd.
