The new 1500 beetle we have bought has a rusted pre heat tube on the inlet manifold. The inlet manifold has rubber connectors halfway between the heads and carby. The pre heat tube bolts to the heat exchangers.

I apologise for not having the exact specs on whether it is single or twin port, but that may help.

The question is -

Does anyone have a replacement inlet manifold?

or is it more economically viable to weld a new section of tube in?

i think you have a twin port manifold, most likely a 1600 engine.
