Have 1900 engine & radiator. Wanted to build an Orient Buckboard like racer. See list of parts needed and photos. Leads?

[George Albright]

Please see the circa 1904 approx. 4 HP engine below with atmospheric inlet valve above, with the similar period copper finned radiator.For some stupid reason I might build a circa 1904 rear engined buckboard like racer,similar to an Orient Buckboard with these parts,just for kicks. I need a small period front axle,a small chain drive or maybe a shaft drive rear axle,Possibly some type of speed transfer device/transmission,and a small steering column or side or center tiller steering setup. I will use wood frame rails and slats similar to an Orient. A small bucket seat,including one made up of wicker is needed. I want a center seat one seat vehicle. If you or anyone you known might have these items they'd consider selling please let me know. Thanks,George Albright  gnalbright@gmail.com  cell weekdays 10-4 EST best 352 843 1624

hi George, I have a friction drive from a Cartercar....looks something like a Orient buckboard.

Hi Mike Hope all is well. Thanks for responding. I am going to go with a center chain drive or shaft drive setup and rear axle,like a 1903-05 Orient buckboard,rather than friction drive like a 1906-08 Orient Buckboard. Any other early small running gear stuff? Thanks for thinking of me! George Albright  gnalbright@gmail.com  cell 352 843 1624
