I have completed my mould and would like to do the resininfusion.

Could someone please advise me on the correct location forthe resin inlet and vacuum line?

ShouldI maybe place the resin line in the middle from right to left and the vacuumline around the edge?

Anyideas?

Shape like that it doesn't really matter shortest  or longest,as long as your resin has a longer open time meaning harderner. Again use peel ply as a resin break that way hardly any resin enters vaccum side,as long as your not in a rush use a harderner with a working time of 2 to 3 hours demoulding is around 3 days depending on working temperature good luck.
