I'm about to start plumbing the engine and I'm having trouble coming up with a good way to mount the gascolator. Anyone have pics or links to help me out?

Thanks!

Here is the mounted gascolator (these pics were taken years ago during the building process). I'm using an IO-360, which has a high pressure fuel pump in place of the Facett pump that comes with the kit. The high pressure pump can't have anything downstream except the engine, so I needed to mount the gascolator outside.

Here's where I put mine (lower left of pic). Will need close nipple and coupler to extend drain. The only other alternative to be low on firewall seemed to be between exhausts which didn't seem a good idea from vapour lock or fire perspective...
