There are some here Steve:

Not cheap but they are good, sometimes you'll find them on e-bay. The bolt patterns are the same as CVH but the end corner, 6mm, holes are missing on the Zetec but if you use a new gasket and sealant it will be fine.

I'm going to give cutting mine a go, only bit that worries me really is shortening the pickup pipe and I can imagine getting that sealed with weld properly so it isn't overwelded and not enough oil gets up the pipe or underwelding and it leaks :S

See if you can find a local firm who can tig weld the tube for you.
