1903De-Dion Bouton

[colin hawesParticipant @colinhawes85982]

Lots of tech info wanted to facilitate construction of a1903 De-Dion working model car.Please can anyone provide engine cam & follower details? Any other info on all parts of this car would also be appreciated.    

[Sub MandrelParticipant @submandrel]

Is this the car where the follower travels in a groove that is cut around the flywheel in a sort of cross-over arrangement?

 

If so I am sure I have seen a description of how someone made one in an old ME.

 

Let me know and I will have a look for you.

Colin,

 

It may be worth talking to The Engineer’s Emporium who list a De Dion 1903 engine kit

 

(no connection, just came across their site whilst folowing a link in another thread on this site this morning!)

Good idea dave, you are right The Engineers Emporium do have a De-dion engine listed in another scale.

                          Thanks, Colin
