Stop by. Do it the right way or just put metric or BSF junk on the best car built in America. I can see your choice. Just add metric and British wrench’s to you tool kit if you have a car that came with one. Sounds peachy and the reason Locomobile chose to produce the fasteners themselves. -

Use a heavy or extra heavy nuts. Then drill and tap the the 20 tpi and you get in most cases the correct wrench size in a undersized thread. Who wants metric fasteners on a American automobile. Or buy pre hardened 4130 hex stock and machine a correct nut equal to the factory which a Locomobile deserves. -

1/4 x20. 5/16 x20. 3/8 x20. 7/16 x20. 1/2 x 20 . Threads per inch You need a thread gauge to be sure. 5/16 and 3/8 are the ones to be careful of. Tap a dies are available. Bolts and nuts were built in house by Locomobile Great looking car. Some purchased items like the shocks are probably more standard tpi. Best of luck. -
The mitered transitions are unusual most manifolds have curved elbow transitions. Must be a transplant from a similar engine perhaps and industrial. Strangest feature to my eyes are the flanges as they appear to be very large and drilled off center although they don’t seem welded and and then drilled. Someone put a lot of thought and work to fit it on the engine. Not a unusual idea of manifolding but a good one.

Current owner? Whew, that was a close one. -
Try it normally aspirated and if you can out drive the engine then consider the huffer. I have some experience and could maybe shed some light on it.

SRB was the licensee of Rudge Whitworth. At some point Marlin Rockwell was involved.

This is from an ad. Rendering but detailed. Out the wrong side probably for the art department preference.
