Have you thought of having one made in stainless steel by a local fabrication shop? Likely as cheap as buying a new one and will last for ever. You can give them your old one as a template.

I recently had a similar problem for my1963 penta AQ80, I did find a place that would fabricate one in Stainless, at a cost of around £650 plus vat, also there is a place in liecester that will rebuild your dead one, for me it would have cost £550 plus vat, eventually i sourced an original from america for $300 plus postage which was a further $200, however along the way i purchased a part stainless and part cast manifold, from a company second hand, that fitted fine, but... was build for an updraft carb, not the downdraft that i currently have, but i did my homework and found a place in the uk that would supply and rejet the carb needed for around £90. What is you actual engine? if it is a B16 this may fit your one, contact me at bernie@teal22.fslife.co.uk
