Does anyone know if the upper and lower heat shrouds for a '72 488945 intake and heat crossover are reproduced? I checked here on PY, and it looks like they only have the '71 version.

There is no rust on these, and the lower is ok, but on the upper, both rivet mounting holes broke off the shroud. If there are no reproductions, is this repairable?

Also, the heat crossover part no. 488983 is different than what I found in group 3.609 of the parts manual, but the crossover fits perfectly and from all indications is the correct and original application. Has anyone else come across this crossover part no?

Thanks!
