Metalbasher Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Evening all, has anyone got a spare handbrake cable grommet, the one that guides the cable from the handbrake lever to the underside exit? My original is ripped and although repairable, if anyone has a new or intact example I’m all ears. I know our German friends have them, but minimum order and postage isn’t feasible, unless someone is planning on making an order I can add to? Thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mepbowles Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) Minimum order from Edelschmiede is a killer. If you find someone to do an order, I'm also after the little rubber standoff that holds the fuel flap off the body of a cav saloon.

Metalbasher Posted January 12, 2023 Author Share Posted January 12, 2023 Hmm, it is indeed a barrier to buying anything from there. Any members out there who combine orders, to ease the minimum order / delivery cost issue with Edelschmiede? Has this been done in the past? If not, is it worth putting to the committee for discussion? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutty2006 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Well, if you do, best make it quick 😂 I thought I was getting this part from another supplier but it turns out I’m not. And I needed it last year! whats the minimum order? I’m happy to help if you don’t want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalbasher Posted January 12, 2023 Author Share Posted January 12, 2023 Let me have a look and maybe contact them, to see if they’ll ease the value for club members. I’d be interested to hear from anyone who’s tried this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 What’s the minimum order value? I can’t see one. One item costs €24 to ship to UK though, which isn’t cheap. Better if there’s more stuff. On 11/01/2023 at 17:34, mepbowles said: Minimum order from Edelschmiede is a killer.

®evo03 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 If the shop is on eBay, will postage be the same - expensive. Would be a great opportunity for the club to approach them, as I'm sure they would make use of panels. If the club could do a quarterly order, would this help, if discount is available, as an incentive - why not put it forward in forthcoming AGM - Metal Basher. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalbasher Posted January 12, 2023 Author Share Posted January 12, 2023 Hmm, quite right Sutty, I’m getting mixed up with the Dr Manta shop if you’re familiar with that site. Minimum order to private buyer is 175 euros. I’m happy to make contact with Edelschmiede and Dr Manta to find facts, but as Evo says any idea should be run past the committee in the first instance. I think Alymac (ebay Opel Spares) bought stuff from Germany, if Alastair is a member on here he may offer advice? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I’ve definitely never had a minimum order from Edelschmiede in the past, but I have ordered upwards of 100€ before now. I think if we want some bits, we can put an order together to help split the postage cost. I know there will be postage again over here but it should work out cheaper. I’ve already f**ked up ordering from someone else, I should have ordered from Edelschmiede first. There are parts of the forum that don’t get used anyway, like the Ask Andy section. Andy hasn’t worked for Vauxhall for some years now so that needs replacing. We could have a section that people put an order down once every other month then it all gets payed for then ordered. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalbasher Posted January 13, 2023 Author Share Posted January 13, 2023 Sorry all, just back from Autosport International at the NEC. Mixed feelings about it really. Good idea Sutty, I’m all for that suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mepbowles Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Yes, it wasn't that there was a minimum order. It was just I forgot to order a part that costs €3-4 when I made an order and didn't want to pay €24 postage for it. https://www.edelschmiede.com/shop/Rubber-tank-filler-cap Even an annual club order would be good if it could coincide with VBOA Rally to simplify distribution a little, and maybe even boost attendance. Do we have club area reps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Yes we have area reps. I used to have a map somewhere but it’s been a while since I’ve seen it. I know there were 1 or 2 areas that were without a rep but it may have changed since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
