Kevin, the part in your picture also looks broken. A part like that could be welded and re-machined, but I suspect the welded version would be weaker than the original.
I offer a service of taking in parts like that, carefully modelling them in 3D CAD and then making them from solid. This is obviously expensive, but a lot easier than finding unobtainable parts. Difficult to estimate from a picture, but probably about £1,200 for a one-off, but if a bunch of big-block 411 owners wanted to order 10, they'd be more like £500 each. Still sounds expensive, but you have to cast and then machine something like that in quantities of several hundreds to get the price below £100.
This just might have been something specially made for Bristol, I don't know.
