Time to give to the forum, I was looking at posts and videos about getting the air box onto the carbs after the carbs were installed. I tried yesterday, even with my heat gun and failed.
Today I made a tool out of wood and fitted the box very quickly.
Here are a few photos of what I made.
Oval shape, using the metal link part that goes into the airbox as a pattern.

It is one and a half inch thick, give or take...
[attach=2]
In situ ready to put some pressure on the, well that part that never goes over the carb to easily.
[attach=3]
Wrench to apply the pressure.
[attach=4]
So, one hand on the wrench one on the screwdriver and I was pleased

the wrench photo went missing

Geat tip Eldric.
That looks a neat idea, really easy without any tool if you have no rear wheel or mudguard fitted - as you say an absolute pig otherwise.
I'll look at making something like that next time I have to do it in situ. Did you look at using a long bolt instead of two long screws or does that make getting in situ impossible?

I just don't have bolts so used what I had.
