Hi Peter,
Fitting the Skydrive carb heat system is pretty straight forward, as you  
say, pressing the carbs into the bodies can be a little nerve  racking.....
All you need, is either a press, or a large bench vice with soft jaws,[ or  
pieces of wood], and a good eye,or verniers, to ensure you are going in square,

 not beyond the skill of your average homebuilder.
Recon on 3 to 4 hours to get it all together.
The rubber ''skirt'' on the inside of the upper cowl might need modding, to  
get a good seal onto the plenum, the airbox will move aft about 3/4'', also if

 there are items on the firewall behind the airbox, check for interference.
50 / 50 Antifreeze / Tap water works just fine, use a quality brand of  
antifreeze, I always use the brand sold at Vauxhall Dealers.
What happened re Wilson and the PFA ? How many letters got forwarded?
Cheers,
Nev.
