[Healeys] BJ8 Carbs -- Install together or separately?

[BJ8 Healeys]

Greg, getting to the bottom nuts to remove and install the carbs is a
miserable job.  A friend made a tool that works really well by cutting a
1/2" spanner in two lengthwise and having it welded back in the shape of an
"L".  I'm going to do that next time I have to remove my carbs.

Crap. I thought I was doing it wrong. Got one. It's the only way to get to
them.
