Some excellent advice above from guys who have done their own Full Monty installations or just commenting on the results of the kit.
In my experience, I never had any issues with swarf going into the carbs when drilling out the pilot bypass holes. It's only a tiny amount of metal being removed from the holes and the swarf comes up along the drill bit.
After doing this mod for several years, I settled on enlarging just one of the three pilot bypass holes (the middle one) and set the mixture screws to 4 turns out.
As for the comments in your original post describing how the standard carburation can be made better without fitting Ivan's kit, there's a huge difference between 'better' and 'perfect'.
