I used a few zip ties...
I am sure there is some nice wierd rubber band, but zip ties work.

Personally I like the pump and or filter in the front trunk area, off to teh side. It makes it so much easier to change when needed. Just a personal preference.

Reform those clips that are on top of the filter....the filter is supposed to sit inside them!

I put mine on the passenger side.
Would you please post a pic of how you do it?
I have yet to put a protective cover over it..I placed it just below the board for the spare tire, but I would like to see a few nice ideas.

I am terribly sorry, I'm not sure I understand the geometry?

No pictures available? Maybe a hand drawn sketch?

Originally they formed a square "U" open on top for the filter to sit in.

Here is one version. Add your filter in line on the inlet hose.
