Does anyone know of a source for a Diamler 1885 casting kit?

Thanks Joe

Daimler or Karl Benz?
If you really mean Daimler, I don't know but if you could mean Karl Benz, then have a look at

There was a build article of this engine some time ago. Have a look at

OK, Joe.
I think those castings were supplied by Heinz Kornmuller of Classic Motors, Austria. Unfortunately for you, he has retired.
It might be worth contacting Engineer's Emporium. They may have taken the design off him. It's not shown on their online catalogue, but that doesn't mean they don't have it.

Hello and happy new year 2022,

I found the Daimler 1885 kit (cast and plans) and many other interesting kits at:
Kits de moteurs à essence - The Engineers Emporium
Kits de moteurs à essence - The Engineers Emporium



The kit is very complete, it just lacks a sheet of brass for the burner housing and a piston ring (diam 20mm) that can be found at:
Zubehör Motoren
The plans (one for each room) are in English but in metric dimensions, (it's perfect for me because I'm French).

I haven't started machining it yet as I have another project in the works, but it doesn't look too difficult.
