I don't know if they are necessary. When I removed the manifold it didn't have any rings

So I put it back together with out them.

Later I found out here in the forum that step-down rings are available.
Also learned here that pre 54 235 manifolds will have the bracket for the horn


If I had the step down rings I would of used them
Good luck
