It is indeed that simple, though early spits had the two-pipe carb on
the front, and the fuel line went ahead of the thermostat housing, if
I remember correctly, with a little two-holes-in-a-bent-piece-of-sheetmetal
bracket to stabilise it up there. Oh, and a grommet around the fuel
line, inside one of the holes.

That works fine; might be hotter back there, though.
