American La France V12 Project - Episode 4 - 'Back at the Ranch'
We bring the big V12 back to the Bracket Factory and do an initial assessment... and the search for a suitable chassis is underway!
Episode 4 (of no doubt many!) which will eventually see this big engine sitting in a 30's style 'Brooklands Special' type car.

I've taken the plunge and bought the 'heart' of my next project - an American La France v12 engine...

    Look for a Bedford ‘J-model’ truck chassis. They even did one (think it’s the ‘JO’) which had a Vauxhall Cresta engine - straight six, around 3litres - it was light and fast - 90 mph. Three YT ‘personalities’ in one video - wonderful! Thanks for the video. Les

    The Kathleen Petre car is stunning. For me, I would make it a wee bit smaller if you are an 'homage' type car, just for ease of use. Something like Jay Leno has done with his "Giant's" creations. Appropriate gearing to use the car for fun events, TSD rally, or just because the weather is nice, add in some good brakes and it is enjoyable to use. Looking forward to what ever you come up with.

    Hi there, there’s a TH-cam channel. There are just about to do an engine swap on the LaFrance. And probably going to scrap the engine so it might be worth you giving them a shout. I know they’re in the states that small bits might be able to be posted to you. They are called grind hard plumbing co. Maybe give them a shout through their TH-cam channel good luck regards Jeff friend of Brian .

  • @kennethshields1651
    @kennethshields1651 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    If the steering is too low ratio,a smaller steering wheel may be used,to raise it a bit and you will lready have lighter steering due to the longer steering arm,so would not make the car too heavy on handling.

      Hi Kenneth, thanks for all your comments and taking so much interest. Much appreciated!

  • @kennethshields1651
    @kennethshields1651 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    The main effect of lengthening the steering arm,will mean more input reqiured at the steering wheel for the same angle as before.The parameters of this,can only be decided on track,as steering input will show how much is suitable for adequate response during race conditions.

  • @kennethshields1651
    @kennethshields1651 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    The reason for parallel steering rods,is that on cornering at high(racing speed),ceates a higher slip angle on the outer(loaded)wheel,which requires a bigger than usual scrub radius,therefor,negting the need for Ackermann angled steering rods.Usually termed as Anti-Ackermann
