Hanno,
The filter is good there, because it is easy to get to, and you can see the clear bowl by looking through the grill. The bolts holding the filter on go through the panel, with a nut holding them in place, then the filter goes on with another nut to hold the filter on, that way the bolts stay there and you don't have to dick around with them if you remove it to change the filter element.
I would recomend, if you do it like this, that you use steel tube for the 90 degree bend through the panel. Mine is ok at the moment, but i can imagine that once the fuel lines start getting older that they may kink and cause a fuel restriction. Sooner or later I am going to replace mine.
