Thanks for the reply on the bracket. It looks like I can figure it out from there. So simple, I love it when its basic and functional.
Have you considered a marchald filter?

I would also consider attaching a rubber hose to the carb mouth and angling it rearwards so its nearly horizontal, then put the filter on the end of that. I used a thin walled aluminum tube to keep it rigid. The tip would have to end near the strut. Not alot of room you have to work with that huge tank.
