...not fractured, but the hose-seating area looks corroded/pitted as hell...I'd be tempted to file it a bit (it is fairly thick-walled so thankfully there is plenty of material there) to get rid of at least some of the pitting...and use plenty of Hose sealant when installing(!)...thankfully, the hose ID is quite compliant and will conform most any surface, especially when forced into it by a clamp...I'd at the very least wire brush it to clean metal...

Cheers

Already sorted that. Coated it with a "liquid metal" "cold weld"product and then smoothed it out. No problem now but starting new thread on carbs.
