Batwings to the rescue! That is the whole reason I developed the batwing concept. It allows you to fiddle around with the side gaskets but still have a nice solid area to seal to the valley plate. But it is a lot more expensive and it adds some hassle factor to the engine build.
Thanks Andy , have looked at them and feel that will be where I go later this year . Try the expense from down here , exchange and freight .
But I think may be best solution . I had a homemade plate but it did start to weep at head face .
Or fit that modman up
