Make one! All searches appear to show that no spares are available, so that limits your options unfortunately.....
Just found a site info@kinzo.com
Try an email with model number and what you need, you never know!!!!

As said, make one. Or remove the old one and see if you can seal it without a joint (gasket).

if you think its worth doing rather than the cost of a new compressor, then High Temperature Manifold Gasket Material |
eBay could maybe do it? Or the sheets of gasket card/paper/stuff off ebay found loads at under a tenner

I used an aluminium foil carton and cut the shape out for a moped head gasket and it ran for years on it. I think a compressor would put material
under less stress.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
