They aren’t that expensive guys. Probably cheaper places to get them possibly without shipping https://www.manciniracing.com/incaaltico.html

Thanks all. Looks like a stock steel cover reinforced and a button will work well. I don't want to put any pressure against the electric waterpump. If an aluminum cover works, certainly the water pump is stiff enough. Doug

It's chinese rubbish, I wouldn't touch it myself So this is actual first hand experience from using THIS product, correct ?!?!? A friend's customer supplied one for an engine, similar experience to the 440 source unit mentioned already. I'd rather spend a little extra and buy something that fits and support my local manufacturing base wherever possible. A part like a timing cover, I would just machine myself.
