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.

Borrowed Pic of BilletFab covers from another thread:

Sure I'll trade you my valve covers for a set of new Moroso 3.5" (68349's)

You understand that the pic in the original post is not a picture of my engine or valve covers?
My valve covers look like this:
