Been using filters that Vech used to sell for years. No problems.

I use the little filters like Tommy has pictured.
I'm of the opinion that the petcock screens are good enough to protect that valve from debris that might do it harm, but not fine enough for jet and needle protection.
Plus it's reassuring to have the little windows into the gas lines, so one can view the carbs fill with fuel at each startup.
Also, have not had any issues with not enough fuel flow using them.
Best-
George

Do you use clamps to hold the filters? the inner diameter of the hose is 7mm and the other diameter of the filter is also 7mm, it can't be hold together with pressure only...

No clamps are needed. The fit is sufficiently tight to hold the hoses and filter in place.
