Trial fitted the repaired front engine cover after sawing off one of the original bottom fixing bolts that was siezed in - not a bad fit.
It will need a bit of fettling on the bottom corners to make it seal properly but they should tap into place once everything else is bolted in place. I took it off again to fit the new seal I got off Martin and to drill some new holes for the securing screws.
