W123 exhaust manifold

[hydroman]

Hi
Age old problem, by the sound of it. Can anyone steer me in the right direction for a reputable source of an exhaust manifold for a 230E, 1983?
New from mercedes is almost as much as the value of the car!

Thanks

You can get them welded. Alternatively any specialist MB breakers and there are plenty. Sure it's the manifold and not the twin flexible pipes.
