Exhaust Manifold Plea

[Fathermarc]

Ok... The restoration so far has been going really well. Well... Up until the moment where I removed the exhaust manifold to replace the gasket and a repaint. A new stainless steel exhaust system arrive from JC's in the UK and the manifold just looked like a flaky sixty year old that need some attention. Plus so far everything I've taken off has been repainted as a little progress map. Any hoo... I've taken the manifold off and hung it up ready for a fresh coating of caliper paint and as I've turned away the manifold has slipped off the wire holder and cracked in two on the garage floor. I was gutted!
I tried to Tig weld it but no joy!
I tried to cold chemical weld it but not with anything like the fix I was hoping for.
I've wrapped it in heat wrap for the moment but I have to resign myself to the fact i'm going to have to replace it.

So if any of you kind souls out there have a '57 manifold collecting dust on a shelf somewhere than I have some items I could swap:

Lucas headlamps mathing pair sealed beams with housings.
3 Mitchelin XZL 4x4 OR 7.5 x 16 (New)
Stromburg carburetta
Thermostat housing (pre "55)
1600cc head
Aluminum inlet manifold and connector pipes back to thermostat.
Exhaust back box and rear pipe section (fair condition)
Cash

Please feel free to contact me.
thanks,
M (Oh I'm a newbie)
