I'm in the East Bay and have a few timing belt covers.  Is the inside cover (against the engine) there? In that case you just need the outer piece.  It just clips on + one bolt.  Otherwise you need both pieces, and putting the inside piece on is a lot more complicated.  I may have both metal and plastic types.  Let me know what you need and I'll dig in some boxes.

Good to see there are some other IDI diesel drivers in the Bay Area...

it is nice to see some IDI enthusiasts in the bay area as well! i think very few of us are willign to pay the premium of owning a diesel in Norcal. i didn't see your post earlier. i'll check tomorrow in the daylight and let you now exactly what i need.
Thanks!

I can't remember how to tell the difference between the 1.5 cover and the 1.6,..
 but I think the front mounting hole is in a different place.
 Get the right one.

I have a couple of these too, both the metal one and the plastic one I am in California if someone needs it.
