massive reconfiguration time again.

I sorta agree. Here is my fix. I would lengthen the fuel line enough to run it straight over to the fenderwell. Make up a 90, mount it to the fenderwell with a fuel line bracket and then run it wherever it's going. It will look neater and be more secure.

Just one old geezer's opinion.
I'm not getting your picture painted in my head. I know that's where I mounted my fuel pressure regulator before and had the same line going the same way. Nobody ever said nothing till the day it's been that way for 3 years! Now someone's worried about me dying?!
