•  No.
   The problem is the upper timing belt cover support bolt is in a different location.
   It also won't bolt to the injection pump bracket because of different placement of the holes,..
   but you might be able to drill and tap a new hole in the injection pump bracket to match it.
   The stamped steel 1.5 bracket is also known to crack near the adjuster support.
