Manifold replacement issue

Hey all, first post.
I am working on a 1958 Ferguson TO-35 with a Continental gas engine.
I needed to replace the exhaust/intake manifold and bought one from Yesterdays Tractor/All States Ag Parts. The casting on the replacement is slightly different that the original. I cannot get a wrench or socket on the upper four bolts because of a lack of clearance. Anyone else had this problem and come up with a solution?
 
Trying a picture

An image of the issue would assist analysis, but a tight space Universal joint socket might just do it. Another idea is to take a modest quality box end wrench (like Master Force or the like), and grind the outside of the wrench to allow it to work. Jim
one source,
 
With these ALMOST RIGHT parts coming out of the land of ALMOST right a lot of times we have had to do some clearance issue grinding sometimes changing BOLTS to either a high performance 12 point cap screw of allen head . The people hat supply this STUFF don't care they just want your bucks and now you deal with the issue . Now i can not SEE the why or HOW of your issue or what will be required be it a fastner change or some handy work with a die grinder as i have employed both at times since these parts are NOT a Direct fit but a Maybe it will fit .

The first is an example of what I am dealing with. The second and third show differe3nce in thickness between original and new, as an example.

by any chance, could you have accidentally checked the box just below the posting text window that says "Disable BBCode in this post" ?

Thank you for your help.
Perhaps I did... I'm not sure how to go back and undue.

you're welcome. i think that because of the custom hybrid board setup here with modern and classic views, that's something that can't be changed after the fact for an existing post.
