I had my cracked manifold fixed by a fellow in WI. It cost as much as a repro, we will see if it holds up. He did beef it up a little in the weak areas, but it looks very good.

Is there even a repo available right now? I have an original with 2 holes rusted in it, may get that repaired or wait till Mr. gates gets some made.

Guys,
Here is the latest info on the repro Manifolds. Foundry has experienced delays similar to everyone trying to get back to "normal". Raw material, labor shortage, shipping, etc.
But the good news is the foundry has cast a few pieces and the machine shop work is complete. Next step is a thorough bead blast and final inspection.
The foundry will not commit to a large "all at once" production run. But will pour the molds as time and labor allow.
I expect the first batch to be available in the next 10 days and will send an email with more details to the GP folks.
Thanks for your patience.
BRAD

I could be interested to buy one as I have hard time to get mine fixed.
