So we cut a hole in the cover, aligned with the button and did some 'fabricating/bending out' on the cover to come off those bolts a bit. Mocked it up and it did the trick. We also used some sheet metal and cut out a circle that we were going to solder over the hole. Then realized no flux left and propane about empty. Going to finish this timing cover on Monday and will post a pic of the fabrication/modification work.
