In September last year, I agreed to my wife’s request that we finally fulfil her yearlong dream of having a beach holiday on the Mediterranean. Almost immediately, she snuck to the travel agency and brought us the idea of Majorca. And today, quite suddenly, our holiday has come around and our plane leaves tomorrow… Which means it’s probably a good time to let the edelschmiede’s customers know...
So, it’s finally happened! My good old friend, our old web-shop, is gone! Why? Tcha, because even a web-shop gets on in years and becomes unsuitable for future use. In contrast to our old vehicles, websites simply stop functioning when they get too old. Which meant that sooner or later we were going to have to find a solution. This wasn’t at all difficult, as there was an acceptable successor to...
Every year Christmas seems to suddenly creep up on us! I just managed to find one of the last Christmas trees in the area and the fairy lights appear to never burn out. Where, I beg of you, has the year gone? Although, I must say, that this year was particularly intense. Not just because we have brought out a huge number of attractive reproductions on the market, no, but also because we...
It’s a wonderful life! Even in the middle of winter (??), with the beloved Oldie stuck in the heated garage. The reason for this bit of sentiment arrived in the form of the nice UPS driver, dressed in a friendly brown, who delivered a package with a difference to the edelschmiede. Puzzled, I checked the sender details. It was from the company ZF, well-known among us Opel drivers as the...
We need more space! Of the digital kind. And more performance. These are concepts that aren’t directly related to our more analogue hobby, but are sometimes necessary all the same. Our brand new server is ready to go and our merchandise management is also getting a big update, to turbo-charge it, if you will. At the moment, we are just hitting the limits of our available performance. By which I...
Rails for the chain In the new edition of “Oldtimer Markt” there is a short post about our guide rails and the sliding block for 24V engines in the section entitled "Neu auf dem Markt" (translation: “New on the market”). The magazine can be found in kiosks on Thursday or from today onwards in your letterbox if you subscribe. And the little article itself can be found here 🙂
..are the chain tensioners for the timing chain in the cih & 24V (C30SE) engines of our old Opels. – The shelves usually containing these small, yet very important, hydraulic tensioners have been empty for a considerable amount of time. These are now once again in stock and available for purchase, freshly arrived and personally laced together by the boss on his virgin thighs in the...
The problem zone in our 24V straight-sixers is well known to be the timing drive, or the timing chain next to its guiders. The primary timing chain, which unfortunately tends to be undersized, is responsible for driving both camshafts, and is held in check with a (guide-) rail on the left, perpendicular to the engine block, and with a clamping rail on the passenger side. Both of these specimens...
Hello hello, So, the two weeks of holiday are now behind us, which means I have turned the shop back on and you may once again start purchasing with growing enthusiasm 🙂 However, we didn’t quite manage to get everything done in the holidays as planned, which means that there will still be no service via telephone or email until the 23rd of August! Please take note! For anything really...
