Riley dual intake manifold?

[1929]

where can I get a Riley dual intake, or is it only maybe on Ebay?

Original or repro?

I have an original Riley log style, but Charlie Yapp made a plenum style for his Riley 2 port reproduction. The repro manifold from Yapp is called the Equalizer, takes two 3 bolt carbs and I think is still available. There are differences between the Riley and stock Model A bolt hole spacing for the manifold, but the Equalizer is machined for both.
The manifold I have has 1 5/8 intake ports and the carburetor flanges are sized for 1 7/8 Winfield CC carbs. Center to center of the intake port bolt holes is 2 11/16 and stock c-c is 3 1/8. I mention all this because I believe you have a Riley 2 Port but don't know for sure.

Is this the intake that you are asking about ?
I don't think that it is made like this anymore. This one is over a decade old and maybe the first made, as back when I 'got ahold' of this one, none were available for sale yet.
There is an un-machined carcass that can be adapted/welded for updraft, I think ? There is an 'equalizer' name on the manifold, but not like the one pictured here. I might be wrong, so contact C. Yapp for the final word on availability

BTW..the BIG selling point was made that this intake...'has an equalizer plenum' built into it' !

The manifold is still produced, but without the RiLEY name on it, as Rick mentioned above. Originally marketed with his reproduction Riley 2 Port heads I think he changed the name to Equalizer when the repro heads sold out. BTW Charlie Yapp marked his Riley stuff with the small i to differentiate it from original Riley parts.

To fit the "Equalizer" intake with a stock exhaust manifold requires some machine work to clear the side valve cover and exhaust manifold . . . AND the mount feet must be cut straight down through the middle of the four OUTER holes to make them like "crow's feet".

Hardtimes,
Looking at your picture I see no linkage going to the rear carburetor. Are you only using one?

[WRA]

Thread is pushing 8 years old.

Dual Strombergs have linkage on the other side.

The item circled in yellow might be the linkage:
