Chain guide

[alifieris]

Hi there,
i have a jaguar s type v6 3.0cc model 2001, i am looking for part number XR85175 which is no longer available , its a chain guide. I have 3 new chain guides, 2 new chains, 2 new tensioners and 1 new timing sprocket. The condition of the old one it's good enough. I am going to use the old part because i cannot find any other solution. Do you recommend anything else or any tip?
Best Regards
Alex

At this time, I think the only solution is to have someone with a 3D printer make one, but that is kind of expensive. By the way, the one in the picture looks like it is metal, is it? I thought that they all were plastic. Please keep up posted how you work all of this out, thankfully, my 2000 V6 with 240,000 miles has not needed any major work.

the old tensioners are plastics, the new ones are metal
