you just need to drill a hole in the back for the coolant channel
  :undecided:

thats the bit scaring me from doing it this way because i go a bit mad with power tools! also i dnt want nothing leaking and breaking down, i want to be able to do it properly.

its not too bad, match the size/angle up to your old head, start with a small bit and work your way up.  Drill till you feel it pop thru into the coolant channel.  Make sure you flush any bits out thoroughly and bobs yr uncle, Haribo did this to his old 1.6 :)

If you still aint comfortable then go for a 1.6 or 1.8 carby head, they're identical.
