Default Intake manifold needed.

I have just had my Model A Diamond block rebuilt by Turlock Machine. Insert bearings, B Crank, Pressure oil, and a Riley Two Port head. The bolt pattern on the Riley is different than the stock Model A. Charlie Yapp at Secrets of Speed, who reproduced the head, no longer makes the heads or the intake manifolds. So I am stuck for a manifold. I'd like to find someone who can make a one off intake to bolt on to the Riley head and use the Holley/Webber progressive two barrel.
Suggestions?
TIA

Is that the same intake and Weber that Snyder sells?

I have a B carburettor that I want to put on one of my engines. It looks like I will have to fabricate an inlet manifold because it won't work with an original inlet. You might fabricate one yourelf or have someone do it for you, depending on your skills. I've done it before and I can tell you it's not that difficult.

No it isn't. Snyder's fits Model A and B engines Side valve engines. It wont fit the Riley OHV head. Notice the difference in stud spacing in my picture.

Just scaling your picture, it's pretty darn close.

Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
If I ground the cuts deep enough into the manifold to fit the studs there wouldn't be room to get the nut and washer on the stud.

Yes, looking closer the distance is noticeably different. If there were a market for that intake I would make one.
