Shorter Skimmer Basket

I have a waterways skimmer complete with basket etc.  I am also using a Kreepy Krauler, the control valve plugs in below the basket which prevents the basket to seat.  I am looking for a shorter basket, currently 8 1/4" OD x 5 “H.  A better height would be 4 - 4 1/4”.  Do you have anything available, or can make other recommendations?

My next step would be to take a heatgun to the basket and re-shape it.
