edelschmiede in the “Oldtimer Markt”
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 🙂
THE yardstick for Vintage Opel drivers
The last big jobs are finished, most of the dust wiped away, which means that now we can really put our backs into the job of distributing parts for Opel rear-wheel-drives over the whole country and beyond from our new rooms here in the edelschmiede. Yes, it really is done for now - with much of our own efforts and blood, sweat and tears, we have managed over the last two years to install a...
Available again at long last…
..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...
Guide rails & sliding blocks for the timing chain in Opel C30SE / 3.0i – 24Vs
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...
The second construction site!
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...
Construction site & holiday two-thousand-and-fifteen
These lines are among the last that I will write in this office. The “Office 2.0”, as I called it in a facebook post in November 2012, is being retired! Why? Because its simply too small. It holds two computer workstations, and to begin with we even had a few shelves with edelschmiede products squeezed in. – For quite some time now I have been working with many helping hands on “Office...
Start of the season in the edelschmiede
A fresh season is just around the corner. The last urgently needed parts are being ordered, which means that the DHL package container here at the edelschmiede could still get a bit fuller. Our valued colleagues over at Müritz aren’t the only ones with lots to do - things are getting a bit frantic here in the heath, although we still have all our deliveries well in hand. And after hours, I’ve...
New year crackers in the edelschmiede
The changeover into the New Year is complete. All the cogs in the edelschmiede are once again turning in sync and the postman has had to call on us twice already, in order to load up the mountain of orders onto his yellow sled. On that note: Happy New Year! There are a number of small projects that have been on hold for a while now, but are no longer content to remain unmentioned. We have added...
Christmas is just around the corner…
...and we’re busy packing up the last packages for our edelschmiede customers. After finishing our work, this year we are going to give ourselves some time to recover. For this reason, there will be no deliveries and no support between the 24.12.2014 and the 04.01.2015. From the 05.01.2015 we will be back at full speed, as we usually are here at the edelschmiede. Until then, we will spoil...
