Default Cam belt cover for ZVH - modify or fabricate?

Hi - i am not happy without a cambelt cover on my ZVH - any ideas as to what I can do to sort this problem.

Can i use a CVH and modify it to fit - or is there an easier option?

Cheers

Maybe its me - i havent actually tried a standard cam belt cover to see if it does fit - i just assumed as its a ZVH that it wont fit - think i am off to hunt for a standard cam belt cover to see if it fits anyway and if not i will make it fit somehow lol

I think i will give it a go - just scared that a stone may get thrown up and caught causing damage i could do without - even heard a story of someone going over a carrier bag lying in the road which then got sucked up into the engine bay and then got caught in the cam belt which then managed to throw the belt off and obviously then - goodbye valves as they smashed into the head and goodbye engine :-(
