I got mine from CB performance:

Beware for upright conversion though (when using type I cooling) because the manifolds are not offset (they are straight), the linkage may hit the fan
shroud. In this case you will need to use offset filter bases for the carbs to clear the fan shroud:

I am sure there are other ways to get around it. I had a pair of shorter manifolds that I had to sell to nbturbo as they were too short for the carbs
to clear the shroud (never mind the linkage)...but the CB ones are taller and clear okay. All is sweet now.
VVDS in Syd may stock them...not sure?

Anything is possible with time and money. I guess they could be made up from steel but you would need to consider heat transfer from the heads - may
boil the fuel in the bowl of the carbies? For the time/$ involved to have them made, may be more cost efficient to just buy a pair?

For linkages and air cleaners ,you can't beat sharpbuilts price of $240 for geuine CB Performance products which sure beats Vintage veedubs price of
approx $400 ,nice profit margin hey.
