The way to properly mount a bracket like the one shown is:

1) Find the location that will work for you.

2) Use the bracket and mark the locations for the mounting holes for the bracket.
If you have a nice shiny frame you can use a piece of masking tape and a felt marker
to mark the holes.

3) Then you take your 3/8" drill and you drill a 1/16 inch hole (with a sharp bit) in
the two hole positions.

4) Then use the 3/8" drill (with a 1/8 inch drill and increase the size of the holes.

5) Go up in small increments on the drill size so you do not break a drill off in the frame.

6) At some point you should be drilling the holes for the 1/4th inch bolts to hold the mounting bracket on the frame. (You do not need a 1/2" drill to do any of these steps) unless you only have one drill and it is a 1/2" drill. Half inch drills drill slower vs 3/8" drills do.

The idea is to sneak up on the two holes correct size mounting hole WITHOUT breaking the drills or scratching the frame.

7) Install the mounting bracket using 2 correct length bolts, 4 washers, and a couple of NYLOK nuts which will not vibrate loose over time.

8) Figure out your hose lengths and plumb up the filter and the bracket to the fuel system.

Simple, professionally done and SAFE.

Quick and Half-azed rarely gets the job done, Especially with hogging out holes in your nicely prepped frame with a 1/2" drill (which may grab or slip and scratch up your detailed frame).
