This is on eBay.
A buy-it-now price of £15. One of a batch of new castings from JCS some years ago cost about £200.
Of course they will last a lifetime, but this may be worth a punt.
Suggest a photo of the mating surface to cylinder, as 'galvanitic' effect eats away the walls.

Is it for a Four, a Ten, a Bradford or even an Eight?

I suppose Bristol tractors or even a stationary engine might also be 'possibles'.

These manifolds seem to have a wide range of variations.

We need an 'I Spy' book!
The devil is in the detail!

It's off a 1930s 7hp. I know this because most of the rest of the engine parts this chap had for sale are on their way to me!
