4.9L Thermostat Housing Adapter (NLA) What to do?

Replaced my water pump this weekend and not long after I blew a hole in the adapter. Ford discontinued this part. I tried a local auto supply Peterborough Automotive, Carquest, and Napa. No luck. Buddy at Carquest told me some time back he had to make one for his 351 as they are NLA as well.

Before I head to home depot to create something, I was wondering if anyone around here has any idea's what I should do, or where I could look before I start piecing fittings together.

Thanks

Ben.
