That car looks like an A, not a B. The A cars had an engine compartment wall that extended down about the depth of that bracket which mated with the lower Carrera engine sheet metal, carrying the "curtain rod" holder for the rubber seal. I looks as if most of that sheet metal (Which interferes with the longer B muffler.) has been removed on his car.

Here are some photos of the ‘engine compartment wall’ that Harlan mentioned. These are from my T1 coupe, with two pictures of the left side and three of the right side. There are no extra holes in mine, just the one access hole for the wiring harness on the right side.

Adam, In your first picture is the valve cover bale just a couple of mm from rubbing?

Martin, the gap between the metal surround and the valve cover spring bale is just under 5 mm.
