I know its not a particularly hard job to do, just a few holes & some tapping, but I would hate to fook it up  :'(

I'm gonna do my LTF, if your handy it wont be that difficult, take the hole position measurements off a frame with factory fitted tabs and spend a good amount of time measuring and marking out the headtube in preparation for the drillings, once you are 100% sure you have the hole centre markings correct center punch the headtube as this wil prevent the drill from slipping all over the place, you will need a thread tap set to suit the stud size of your tabs, the tap set will state what drill size to use for the thread your tapping, when your tapping the thread, turn half a turn and then half a turn back then full turn half a turn back and so on (drilling/tapping fluid will help) a tap set will have three taps which you use in order. you also will need to remove your forks, hope this helps.

If you have access to a bench drill even better but a hand held will be fine.

I did a frame of mine last year.You dont need to be super accurate but as its only 4mm thread be careful with the tapping.I only had a machine tap to work with and the bitch broke when I was nearly thru' the second hole.I got out the bits and screwed a bolt in and it was ok.I took the gyro off after 2 weeks so it was a total waste of time..... Linear cable on now.
