dont know if this is the right spot for this post but here goes.i bought a fram HPG1 fuel filter off EBAY for 15.00 so it was a good deal.its a canister type that has a cartridge that you replace.the whole thing is about the size of a oil filter.i cut a piece of 3/16 steel plate to set flush inside my framerails between the tranny mount and rear cab mounts and am going to weld it in flush.now my question is can i drill and tap the plate for 3/8 bolts ?will that alone be strong enough to hold the filter or should i just drill a 3/8 hole and put nuts behind them? thanks.......... dave
