MG MGA - Exhaust manifold welding

Does anyone in the UK have a good experience with welding cast iron manifolds. I entrusted mine to a automobile engineering shop, who tried 3 different arc welding rods without success, and charged me for their time.
What is the quality of the new manifolds you can buy. Or is a good secondhand one better.

I had read your article Barney, but have no oxy-acetylene equipment. Hence perhaps find someone who can.

Hi Henry - I would think that 2nd hand ones are in scarce supply - but try Bob West - there is a repro one on Ebay at the moment for less than £90 (item number 260147975140) -but no idea of the quality - good luck - Cam

Cheers Cam. Did a buy it now on that manifold. Wait and see what its like. I suspect proof is how long it lasts.
