Default zetec turbo (blacktop) water pump solution

Its actually an st170 engine but same size hole!?

Fit electric pump?

Some sort of pulley to change the direction and use the standard st 170 pump?

machine the block to take the older zetec escort/fiest pump?

any ideas people must have come accross this same problem?

it basically just a bit of angle iron with 4 8.5mm holes and a slot with the rear auxiliary belt pulley off a focus/mondeo on it and a 1150mm belt and the cvh alternator with the zetec wheel on it and cvh bracket
