Hi. As you know finding one of those is tough. AFAIK, they aren't being made any more though there was discussion recently about a lister setting up to manufacture this part. If I recall correctly. And though you didn't ask about fixing yours', if it's salvagable, try a "High Temperatrure" sealant on the crack(s). This problem and solution is likely covered in archives. On my 81 AC intake boot, I cleaned the crack area (well) and applied the sealant. So far so goot.
