Default Dry sump pan for Dart SVO

I have a Pro Pan aluminium dry sump pan which has seen better days and is almost too big for my application, only run a 5.25" deep pan and this pan has a large kickout which just fits my chassis.

Looking at Aviaid and Armandos pans, on the GT40 some have had main cap issues where they have had to panelbeat the pan and even grind the main caps.
I would like another pan that you can screw the fittings in and run the gauze cone style filters to protect the pump instead of inline filters. Kickouts are okay as long as I can fit the normal fasteners to the block! Another issue with the QM starter/lightweight bellhousing was the starter adapter and we had to modify the Pro Pan where I think pans without the full depth kickout would work better.
Canton make a nice looking pan but the fittings are right where the chassis rail and engine tube is.

Any experience on the Aviaid or Armando dry sump pan for main cap clearance would be appreciated as its a long way out to NZ
