Now.... these springs and the PE parts that get mounted on the manifold tops are incredibly small ( toothpick shown for reference ).
A short length of the supplied springs has to be cut off and the end formed before attaching.
Was a bit frustrating but got a method sorted in the end. RM1 attached the following image(s):

The injector pump is this octopus which sits between the manifolds and the fuel lines run out to the injectors.RM1 attached the following image(s):
