My Coupe does not have any bracket attached to the gascolator. I know this for a fact, as we've removed it lately. Funny thing, the top of the gascolator has a crack on top, running parallel to the inlet fitting, directly on top. Crack is approx 1/4 inch long. When we reinstalled it, we hadn't noticed it. When we turned on the fuel, it leaked like crazy. That's when we noticed it. I purchased a used top section from Surprise Aviation, and will be installing it shortly. But, I would like to comply with the AD, and install the bracket. Anyone have any drawings of it, or is it available for purchase? I have no doubt that the lack of support is what lead to the crack up there.
