I never thought that I would devote an entire blog post to the lowly cog, but this really is a cracker: We’ve spared neither cost nor effort and can now, *drum roll*, offer you an edelschmiede reproduction of the blue speedometer gear for cih transmissions! As customers ewre constantly asking after this piece, we decided to reintroduce this worm gear to the market! For those not in the know: the...
Day 2 post seasonal license plate…
…or: the winter break is back! As of yesterday, for many vintage-Opel & rear-wheel-drive drivers, the wicked wintertime is once again omnipresent. The seasonal license plates have banished our Manta, Ascona, Senator and Kadetts back to the garage. My Ascona is no exception, with the active months spanning April to October. With a tear in my eye, I picked up my son Hannes from...
Angle drive speedometer available again as of now!
[vc_section][/vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Almost as soon as I had penned, or rather uploaded, the blog post yesterday, I received multiple enquires on the topic of angle drives. Yes, as I said, these are once again available to order, new and improved.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/2"][vc_column_text] [/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner...
Reinz seals, installation kits and more rear-wheel-drivery…
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] “Children, how time flies!”, is a phrase I have already used here. And what can I say? I was right! The summer is long gone, the days are growing short again and the polished summer cars are being driven back into their garages. I have to admit, in the last few weeks I’ve barely laid my fingers on the keyboard. However, that should be about to change. Even my...
Reading time in the edelschmiede
It is almost propaganda on my part, however, despite all the naysayers, I still count the magazine 'Oldtimer Markt' as one of my absolute favourite pieces of reading matter - even after almost 20 years of monthly reading. Why am I mentioning this specialist magazine yet again? Because the October issue that came out today came garnished with the Special Edition Classic Tuning. Yet again a...
Break-time at the edelschmiede, we’re putting our feet up
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="588" img_size="full" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]The „15% discount offer“ is finished, as are we! Many thanks for all the extra orders - two thumbs up 🙂 For this reason, admittedly on very short notice, we will be closing the edelschmiede between the 5th and 18th of August! This will be the first “break” in the two years since we first opened...
15 at one blow! Huge discount offer in the edelschmiede
At some point enough is enough: the green ‘edelschmiede Ascona B’ has finally received the approval needed and is now free to make the streets unsafe with authorisation! This is in itself a reason to celebrate, especially as it took literally 15 years, all in all! Although, it isn’t as though work was done on this green comet every day, or even every month, throughout this time period. No,...
Low, lower, Monza / Senator! H&R and the edelschmiede go lower!
We have realised, after many enquires and a long period of market monitoring, that it is absolutely necessary to bring the lower suspension setting springs for Opel models Monza & Senator A back onto the shelves! – With this in mind, I contacted the company H&R to ask if it would be possible to produce a small run of the much loved lower suspension setting springs for the...
Gummy bears for Opel rear-wheel drivers!
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] "Gummy bears instead of tea" is our motto at the edelschmiede! – Incited by an entry on the OHF, we are heralding the beginning of the “winter-time-is-over-period” immediately and instead of delivering the popular ‚edelschmiede’s edelkirsche‘ tea, we will once again be delivering wine gums with every order! Today, Mrs edelschmiede arrived at the firm with a...
