I thought the same thing until I looked at the plates that were on my car and saw they didn't clear the rocker cover either. Doesn't leak, just pushes it over a bit. Only leak I had was when I forgot to tighten the screws....

How do the clamps work? Is there enough material in the fuel rail to drill a through hole for the clamp? At $15- it's not really worth putting time into redesigning it. I haven't bought any components yet so that part was a bit of guess work at the moment.

Re sharing, I want to get get it to a finished state so there's no half baked versions kicking around. All I'd really hope to get out of it is a few sets of machined parts that I can use. I'm working on the rest of the manifold as well to suit NA and turbo applications.

Edit: I'm using NX.
