Installation of equipment
in order to fit most of these items, a special mission must be found and accepted (SETA does not have an associated mission). Once the item is crafted for the mission, it must be returned to the respective NPC (so don't accept these mission offers from soon-to-be hostile stations!) . At in order to fit it, at which point , you can sell the item or ask for the equipment and you'd be directed to an NPC mechanic Mechanic who can fit it.
The Mk5 Engine & PR3 weapon requirement can be crafted & sold repeatedly without needing to find the relevant mission, but you'll lose some extra cash. The mission is only necessary to fit the equipment to the Skunk (or create & fit in the case of the PR3). SETA can be crafted repeatedly but its resale value is less than it's individual components, so not worth the bother
