Anyone Recognize This Single-Carb Manifold?
I recently saw this manifold on Ebay and couldn't resist. It's well-constructed from stainless. Also came with a clean Weber DGV.

Does anyone recognize it or know who made it? I'd love to chat with the original fabricator/owner and garner some details.

Don't know if I can bring myself to unbolt the PVC intake and Harley 40mm CV I've been running for last two years to test. :-)

Vic,

Yeh - when I bought it, thought the same thing but once it's in hand - no question (and it's ferrous - I checked). It's a heavy beast.

Well-constructed like I said. Only a couple of oddities I'd like to ask its creator about but a nice piece. Will have to see how it performs. Has baffles welded in plenum, etc.

Would sure like to chat with the fella that made it.

don't know who made it, but have had one for the last 15 years. it came with a webber carb with mech. secondaries.worked really well. not using it now to much work to change to 1200 motor. only problem was the carb mounting surface wasn't flat had to have it machined. if you would like to buy a complete set let me know.

So - do you mean to say you have a single-carb setup or that you have the exact same manifold? If the latter, awesome and perhaps I can bug you with a question or two.

Thanks.
