Thanks for the pics, hood is already done, not sure I can bring myself to cut it, Thinking of fabricating a flat cover for the breather so I'll be able to get the hood closed.
That might not work, carbs sit too high in the baseplate. If you cut the hood, slip a piece of sheetmetal between the 2 layers and use a whizzer or dremel. If it has stock glue in the way cut that first with a sharp knife. If the glue is real nasty, glass guys have a tool the fits a sawzall that is thin like sheetmetal that will cut it. Reglue with 3m nvt, or plain silicone. Do not use fusor type products or it could telegraph thru the hood. Sorry for all the bad news.
