Timing cover for a 99 GT


I know the timing covers were unique for the 99 models, but are there any other that are interchangeable? The stock one for my 99 is toast, looks like a new one from ford will run about $300, surely there's another option that will still use my 3 bolt tensioner and belt configuration. I've found a few that are similar, but casting numbers are different... Any ideas?

the 00 models had the same cover, both years were windsors. i cant remember if mine is a 3 bolt or not tho. i know the auto's i have ran across were 3-bolt, but not sure about manuals. i just havent paid enough attention. the covers are interchangeable, and you can route the belt different as well if needed.

the belt routing is the same though for all 99-04's, regardless of the tensioner.

I think they used the 3 bolt tensioner in 2001, but on a romeo motor. I wonder if it's possible to modify a romeo cover to fit. I think it would just involve enlarging a few of the bolt holes for the windsor's larger 10mm bolts in the heads and at the bottom...
