Hello Geoff, Hello Howard,
thank you for your answers and advice and contributions to this thread. I have already contacted some people in Germany who produce these leather seals but their versions are... let's say brutally solid... I doubt whether they would not tear the vacuum motor to bits and pieces.
The problem that this vacuum system is less reliable than the electric version is one of the things I would accept as long as the car is in original condition.
One of the key problems - something I do not know at all - is the question of where the vacuum hose is attached to this manifold. Checked every possibility, stained my new shirt (Sorry, love!) and came to the conclusion that I am once again clueless.
