Can I patch a DE Filter manifold with pvc and PVC cement?

I have a 30 yo Purex DE filter. I have not been able to find a manifold on-line and not sure if I'll be able to find a compatible manifold. I was thinkng I could cut some PVC and use it as a patch, but I am concerned it may not hold up to the psi.

epoxy is the correct patch material.although PVC glue and patch seems like it should work it seldom does.
