1600 CT help inlet manifold

[Bestwick84]

Hi I am on the look out for a replacement inlet manifold for my 1600 ct air cooled engine.
It's rusted through on the exhaust pre heater.
Currently has a coke can and a load of exhaust Paste rapped round it
my question is would an earlier manifold from say a 1600 bay window fit?
Any advice would be grate Thanks Jamie.

Bay inlet manifold won't fit I'm afraid.

Normal solution is to cut and weld them.
