'71 Marina saloon.

Thermostat housing

Hi
Anybody direct me to a source for a thermostat housing with bleed cap on top. I'm rebuilding my a+ motor and the one I have is corroded around the gasket face, I have an ordinary one, but want to keep the bleed option.
Have searched the usual suspects but no joy yet.
Thanks
