I've mounted my pumps, the filters are about an inch proud of the cross member I wanted them a little higher but the fuel inlet prevented this. Do you think it's too low?

NEVER have fuel, oil or coolant below the frame.

I would also put the final filter as close to the carb as possible. There is an excellent reason the factory uses bronze filters at the carb inlet.

Sean,
I noticed that you have the fuel pump connected to the filters with rigid fittings that do not allow any flexing. The pump bracket uses rubber isolation mounts, but the filter mounts do not. This might transmit enough pump noise through the filter mounts into the frame of your coach to considered annoying. Something to evaluate. You may be lucky and it may be quiet.

I've mounted the entire frame with rubber grommets as well...you can just see them on the flange...red wire is my ground (because of the rubber isolators)

Ok
I saw what looked like spacers and wasn't sure. You've got a nice project on the go there. I should have mine looking similar this summer.
