Got my fuel pump through today with the inline filter

Can the inline go anywhere

Also fitted crankshaft oil seal was a pain in the arse fitting they seem to be abit in the big side
Iv fitted seals before and was pretty easy but I messed up a crank seal before and £7 all in with postage etc on a seal is Sumink I don't want to go wrong many times lol

Anyway going to mark up the weber box tomorrow
And fit transfer case ready for my clutch and flywheel

The inline filter should be fitted before the pump.

 

By crank oil seal I assume you mean the one which goes over the nose of the crank into the transfer gear housing before the clutch ??  There is a special tool for this comprising of a cover which sits over the primary gear splines and a sort-of tube type thing which is supposed to push the seal down square.  I have wrapped the splines in wide masking tape making sure it's flat and wrapping on a couple of turns, then a light smear with oil and gently push the seal over.  

 

Or do you mean the one in the timing chain cover ??  If so fit the seal into the chain cover first, it should just tap in gently with an appropriately sized socket or gentle taps with a hammer.  Loosely fit the cover over the crank but don't tighten the cover bolts, slip on the bottom pulley and nip it up, then tighten the chain cover bolts.
