Thru wall chimney is less than 2 inches from edge roof

[dahluwalia]

So my first wood stove and chimney. I'm in Maryland and need it inspected. My chimney is triple wall durevent and the kit came with two brackets that holds it 2 inches from the wall.It's going up a brick wall to the ridge. At the ridge there is aluminium siding trim raise up and looks like wood 1x 4 plank, but just hollow aluminium. Than aluminum drip edge and assault shingles. My question is will the inspector flag the less than 2 inches at roof contact ? And more importantly how can I fix without re doing everything? Can I make a shield ? What would that look like ?Can I get a off set pipe and a bracket to match ? What's easiest cheapest fastes. I,m at my wits end and over my head with this project it think . Thanks for any helpful input

Clearances are to combustibles, aluminum is not combustible. Asphalt shingles however are.

Is it possible to notch the trim? Or could a 2 x 4 be mounted to the brick for each support to bring it out a bit? Can you post a picture of the area in question?

I don't think I can notch it because it's just drop edge overhang maybe less than a inch. I f i use 2x4 to back it out 2 inches that means thimble as pipe and tee has to be all taken apart .I also don't have enough lengthy on the thimble and thru the wall pipe. But I bet I don't have to many choices

I took a single wall black stove pipe 12 inch . I opened it up and cloaked it around the chimney .I put giant hose clamps thru slots i made in the pipe. It acts as a shield for the shingles and the inspector said it also acts as a heat sink. Ok I'm Maryland
