is your manifold completely missing or are you trying to re-instate the hot spot pipes as if thats the case then dont bother, only way you will get these back is to buy a new manifold from dafhobby.nl I would suggest dropping a private message to either Mattdafs or Howard (in the members list) as in my eyes these are the people most likely to be able to help you with this

That is a tall order......
One can be purchased new from DAFHobby (expensive route, but recommended). On the other hand it's not wise to try fitting a used unit due to the fact that most of the hotspot pipes will be gone anyway.

Thanks - its only one of the pipes missing the one nearest to the front of the car (in the cluster of three) excuse my total incompetence for part names - the last car I restored was a Trabi - that seemed easier but not as much fun

if its tiny skinny pipe then dont worry about it, there is on a new one two large pipes that are where the air/petrol are fed to the cylinder head, and then the two skinny exhaust gas "hotspot" pipes that when new used to heat the bottom of the carburettor, very few of us have those remaining now, and provided the dead ends are suitable capped to stop exhaust gases escaping it causes no issues apart from a bit of a flat spot from pulling away, especially when cold
