They always do warp... Find youself a straight edge and grind away the outer branches evenly with a grinding disc (trying to keep the surface reasonably level).
Then get a long file and file the outers flat - resting the leading edge of the file on the middle branch flange. This'll make sure you'll end up with a pretty flat surface!

I had something like a 4mm gap at the middle flange first time i attacked my manifold the way i've described. I had to do it once more (only 2mm or so that time) but it hasn't needed any tweaking since...

Where in the world are you, I've got one, but you'll have to collect it from the west country as I'm too busy / lazy to go to the post office at the moment.
