Intake manifold question

Im wondering if there is a source for an intake manifold for the 87 kdx 200? Seems like i can find all years but the 86-87. Ive heard some gyys repair them with plasti dip. Which i am going to try. But if you could point me towards a new one that would be greatly appreciated. Tks.

If your going to try and patch / repair it for now , Use Permatex RT. Stuff black silicone gasket /adhesive . Plastic Dip is great for what it
was designed for but does not hold up to gasoline.
Clean it thoroughly and apply RT. Stuff, use a wet finger to smooth it out.

Thanks for the reply. I will try the permatex, then try to make it look better with some plasti dip.

You won't need the plasti dip at all , you'll be able to smooth it out and ad extra layers where you need the most reinforcement.

If it were that easy itd be done already. it more than likely got thrown out.
