Maybe two pairs of these, one for the support and one for the fuel line/hose on either side of the filter, some stainless screws and acorn nuts to dress it to some.
Mounting it on the Monte Carlo bar seems like a bad idea if you were to be in a hard wreck involving the left front. I would keep it low and a little slack in the hoses, maybe a bracket on the fuel pump block off plate and kinda route it along the original path ?
I think given the small size of the filter, probably you could put a simple insulated hose clamp on the apron there where the bend in the hose is already touching it, and just use it to hold the hose. It'll hold the whole line in place without looking as messy as if you attached it to the monte carlo bar. Hanging stuff from the chrome bits just always tends to look messy, even if it really does actually help tidy things up.
I'd want a two piece aluminum clamp. Hard to find a cleaner look. The custom bike people use them to clamp stuff to 1.25" frames and 1.00" handlebars and the like. I don't recall ever seeing one for the sizes you want though. You might search something up though. I have no clue what they are called.
They look like this though.
I imagine an amateur/hobbyist machinist could make one up if he wanted.
I've found plenty of those, just not in the size I need. Those would work perfect, but it's never that easy! I do have a friend who has a 3D printer, maybe this'll peak his interest..
Try these guys, they have some very nice clamps that look like what it seems you want. I have an assortment tray and have used many to secure wire harness sections, ignition wires, and AN lines in place. Their web site sucks to navigate.
A printed part sounds interesting. Most I've seen were a little rough but no doubt it wouldn't be too hard to smooth and polish. Black would match the filter. You could drill and tap like you would aluminum I imagine. I'd have to try it, just to see. I'd expect somebody with a 3D printer would be happy to try and make something actually useful.
I would just secure it in a reasonable way for now. Make sure the system works well before you make it look nice. Rather than getting custom made billet parts, you could make hoses/fittings.
