Where is the oem fuel filter mounted on a 9/75 . I see where an aftermarket one was mounted on the battery box but I cant find a pic of the oem one. Thanks,Tommy

You do know that's not OEM fuel filter. Don't know if it's lasted thru end of the FJ40s but stock was a glass bowl with replaceable cartridge.
I'm certainly no parts expert but the old crusty fuel filter I took off of my mostly stock 77 before putting this one on looked exactly the same. When I bought it from @beno I only have him a month and year of manufacture and this is what I got. Now maybe the first year of the 2F in 75 had a different fuel filter but I made a bold assumption the first few years of the 2F used the same fuel filter and location.

Mine looks like that,got it from cruiser outfitters and it came in a toyota box. What's it bolted to. is it a bracket bolted to the battery stand?
I still have the stock one on both the 40 and the Pig. Will take a picture and upload tonight.
IPTMAN has it right for a 1975 model. Standard arrgt for most 1970's FJ40's:
Original, authentic arrangement for my Jan 1973. (However, the filter shown is a nylon aftermarket one):

Swing and a miss!

thank ya'll I found the bracket from the pics and it all makes sense now.thanks again
I remember that part very well. I remember searching through pre restoration photos for about an hour until it caught my eye in the corner of a photo. Of course I could have just posted a picture on MUD and got ten right answers in less than 2 minutes, but sometimes that is just too easy!

Anybody have a picture of where this bracket should be mounted on a 77'? My frame doesn't have a threaded hole to receive a bolt as shown above. I'm thinking it's supposed to mount under the battery support?
Assuming you have a stock battery mount, the fuel filter support bracket fits under the bolt that holds the rear of the battery support frame to the frame.

Pretty sure my battery mount is stock. However, there is not female threads to put a bolt through... Thoughts?

A picture is worth a 1000 words? It looks like you have a rivet, instead of a bolt, holding your battery carrier in place.
The parts fiche indicate that the same battery carrier part no. was used from 7209 - 7901, illustrated with a bolt in the place of your rivet.
Here is a fiche showing the options for fuel filter and bracket:

I figured a picture would help! However, the rivet is underneath the battery mount. I think i can use the bolt underneath the battery mount as its just a few inches away and will accomplish the same thing.
Just to be clear, the circled rivet is a bolt in the parts fiche.

I'm putting on the dunce cap... maybe this thread should be put in the EPIC FAIL list... what you circled (i've just come to find out) is a threaded hole full of crud instead of a rivet!
My problem is solved! (and I'm an idiot!)
thanks for helping...
