Hard to tell from the pic mate but are they metal or plastic? If there metal just get some made up at any local fabricator with a peirce all (or soimething simular) who has a louvering tool.
On the subject of cowls, did anyone ever get as far as getting an inner cowl from Gav and if so, when bonded in did it fit over the powerhead?

Just to let you know, our inners are single piece, fit in snug and clear any motor we have put them on. Nice big flanges on them, stick them in with sika or glass them in.
