I 'think' the GT timing cover is interchangeable with the Series cover (same pulley diameter). If you need a replacement. due to scoring from a mis- aligned pulley, look for an early Series Alpine cover. There's a rounded 'lip' at the rear of the pulley hole designed to keep oil from dripping directly onto the pulley and leaking out. When Rootes got cheaper later on, they dropped the 'lip.'
