Hello,
Yes the bracket is still available, no doubt worth swapping it out after all this time, should probably do mine as well.
Cheers

I did my fuel filter a few weeks back. I had no bracket to start with. See thread.

Bought new Gen Volvo bracket from here and cost under a tenner.

Rusted filter brackets are common, and probably mean it's WAY overdue for a change - maybe it's never been done? So go ahead do the job as it's clearly in need - don't worry about the strap as it will probably be scrap, so just cut it off and invest in a new one - much quicker! However, well worth putting some grease on the threads of the new one to stop it happening again IMHO.
