No bracket, plenty of lines to keep it in place I would get rid of the hard fitting on the back bowl and run 2 pieces of braided. Jim

Happened to me at Vegas too and I ended up running the fuel line up the inner fenderwell and mounting the regulator on the inner fender. I just used a plastic cover over the line in the fenderwell as I was more worried about debris kicked up by the tire hitting the aluminum line.

I think what you have will be fine.
