Default Timing Pointer

Just wondering if anyone knows where I could buy a timing pointer for an ls engine. It's a lq4, turbo deal with an ATI damper, degreed. I see the Comp Cams whole timing cover assembly, for about $250, I hate to spend THAT much, just to buy a premade timing tab. Any other options that I'm not seeing? Would need at least two of them, the other for a vvt deleted L92.

Is it possible to mount your balancer with the timing cover off and make a reference mark on the cranksnout/balancer? If I needed a timing mark that's how I would do it, but I'm pretty cheap and my labor is free.

I'm not sure you understand the request. My ATI damper has engraved markings on it already, and has been keyed to the crank. I want to buy a bolt on timing tab/pointer like the old small and big blocks used to run. The Comp cover has provisions for it, but I was hoping to find a nice billet one I could use for maybe 30-40 dollars. Probably not enough guys wanting one, so nobody offers it.
