Cowl to fender prop rod issue

[Jemezcrusher]

I am running a 235 and added dual carb manifold and a couple of carbs from Tom Langdon. The rear carb interferes with the prop rod that goes from the cowl to the inner fender.

Wondering what others have done when presented with this problem. Will have to either modify the rod (bend and brace?) or relocate the mounting position on the cowl.

Any experience?
