Ok so I've just finished replacing fuel hoses. One of the things I don't really like is the fuel filter, not least because I sprung a leak there on the outlet right above the exhaust. The hose on the outlet has to take a pretty sharp 180 right out the filter. I'm thinking about seeing if I can find an alternative filter of a different design which provides for a much less severe hose route. Something of this type design for example where the outlet doesn't require so much stress on the hose.

What are the specs I need to look for to match the standard filter ?

Thanks.

I would guess as long as it’s rated for fuel injection system pressures it will be useable.
How you find out the pressure rating though may prove difficult, very sketchy using unknown parts especially one as critical as this in a Tvr engine bay.
Can you not relocate a filter to the rear of the car like a Chim has?
Granted it’s in a bh of a place but may be safer.
