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.
