Default Valve cover spacers to high

I put 1" valve cover spacers on my car to work with my roller rockers. The passenger side is so high that the coils touch the AC lines and evaporator canister or whatever... Anybody know how to get around this problem besides using coil relocation brackets? If not, anybody got a coil relocater kit for sale?

I'm gonna have to get 1/2" spacers. 3/4" is pushing it also. I now realize I can easily get by with 1/2" spacers with my rr's.

Yella Terra. I bought the spacers off some website. I think they were $75.

if $75, can't beat that. vinci sells spacers in the 1/2" height. comes with longer bolts and gaskets. they also sell taller carbon fiber valve covers as well.

Roger helped us design the carbon fiber covers they are 3/4" taller and should clear most valvetrains.
