Ital 1.7 Manifold Cracks

[almyland]

Just putting the engine back together after sorting some oil leaks - hopefully - and discovered several hair-line cracks in the inlet/exhaust manifold. Any thoughts on the best way to deal with this problem. I don't think the manifold is going to fall apart on me but it's long term future is in doubt. I understand that welding cast manifolds is a difficult and specialist area so, has anyone done the job with success or does anyone have a good manifold lurking in the back of their garage/workshop that they are willing to part with? The casting number is WFM1021 and as mentioned in the subject heading, it's from a 1.7 O series Ital engine.

Thanks

Alan
