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)
