Still unsure what i`m really going to do about the front still want to make it steerable but i don`t want to use king pins.  Looking at the 1902 Cadillac i don`t see king pins front axle looks like a girder of sorts and i think a through back to locomobiles certainly by 1903 they did have king pins, i like the front axle arrangement of the Ford model T but make it rotate like the Mamod steam roller something along those lines still thinking.

Saw a video of a 1905 Cadillac start up procedure made my day like some of you i had car with a starting handle and you know it was fitted below the radiator at the front if you see a photo of a 1905 Cadillac chassis right in the middle is a flywheel and the starting handle goes through the left hand side of the chassis to turn the flywheel to start the engine and so on really never knew that
