not sure what you did but GT and Cobra use the same 3 bolt belt tensioner from 1996 to 1999 then in 2000 Ford went to a 1 bolt tensioner. so either someone has swap engines in your car or swapped-out the front cover.

also, if yours is still a 3 bolt tensioner, Ford has a improved steel tensioner to replace the "prone to bending" aluminum tensioner.
comes in a kit wth a new belt, part # XR3Z-6B209-DB
