Fab Valve Covers in Fox for C460 on 10.300 Block
Looking for opinions, pictures, experiences with fabricated aluminum valve covers on a C460 head in a Fox Body with full strut towers. Heads have shaft rockers.
Please don't suggest your favorite stamped or cast cover, I have a set of cast covers on it and am not comfortable with the rocker arm clearance to the intake side wall. Need something with the wall at the outside of the rail, at least on the intake side.
I have heard then even the shortest (2.5") Moroso Fabbed Cover make spark plug access more difficult and are too tight to the brake master cylinder do to their "Square" design. Need the valve covers to be able to come off in the car. Based on this I think a "chamfered" style cover similar to the pic below would be preferred and would like to know what is available.

My valve covers look like this:
