Hi
It may not be the way the experts do it but it works.
You need two strips of thin stainless steel [mine have a bent edge] about wood saw thick will do. [NOTE- all clamps seal springs must be fitted on rubbers but not in final position] Put one over cylinder rubbers - the other over airbox rubbers. slide carbies between the two strips and the rubbers are compressed back as the carbs slide into position. Slide strip 1 [Cylinder side] out slow letting carb mouths pop into place one by one. Slide strip 2 [Air box side] out slow alowing rubbers to pop on to carb one at a time.[check internal parts of the rubber fit into the carb properly] Position and tighten clamps - springs [airbox side] can be rolled into position [long fingers + screwdriver]
After you had to do it a few times you will be amazed how easy it is.
Design-wise the airbox looks like a cheap option to hard problem.
Regards
