Roo’s version is fine, assuming you feel like all the work over and above the Western Filters kit (eg drilling holes and nutserting). One bloke I knew on here tried roo’s method and screwed it up, got the one hole in the wrong place and then installed the nutsert wrong and so on and on and oh how he wished he’d not done it like that. Oh well.
I made my own bracket excatly the same as the kit one and that worked well.
I insultated my hoses with reflective heat shield and inspect them every service, no problems to report. Have done a lot of very hot outback towing kms and the hoses are fine.
Both methods work equally well. I’ve not come across a cooked hose with the Provents, though I’m sure someone will have managed it...
