Default zetec rocker cover gasket help.

In the final stages of putting back together cliffs1's old engine, as most will probably know, its an american zetec. I can't seem to find a rocker cover gasket to fit properly without me having to cut bits and move them around.
Any ideas people? the main difference is the centre line of bolt holes, on this rocker cover they are all in line and on all the gaskets i get and other covers i've seen, they are off set from each other

Should be able to see from this pic



compared to the normal...
