New Mancini Timing Cover Fitment Issue

Update: Didn't get anywhere with Mancini.
I've found OEM covers that would work on ebay as a back up, As well as a source here.

I've been measuring and test fitting my OEM cover and the NEW one. All the bolt holes line up, the crankshaft seems center in both openings visually. The only issue is the extra material on the bottom that will be the major issue cramming the rubber seal in there.

I decided to Grind away the interferences and match it up to my OEM cover. I'm very close and going to do test fitting again.

If it doesn't work I'll get a used OEM unit that.

Here's the process pictures.
