Partquip Catalogue __link__ | Limited
The catalogue shows part numbers and technical specs only – no RRP (Recommended Retail Price). This is a trade catalogue, so you cannot buy direct. You must call a local Partquip dealer. This adds a frustrating extra step for the DIYer.
The printed catalogue is a tank. It is printed on heavy-duty, oil-resistant paper with a reinforced binding. It is designed to sit on a greasy workshop bench and survive being thumbed through with dirty hands. The font is small but sharp, maximizing information per page. partquip catalogue

If you have a failed part with a faded number, you can search the Partquip index by the OEM number and find their equivalent. This is a lifesaver for identifying mystery parts.

Instead of just text lists, many sections include line-drawing exploded diagrams of axles, gearboxes, and brake systems. This helps you visualize where a seal or bearing sits before you order it. The Bad (Cons) 1. The "Where Did It Go?" Problem The physical catalogue is organized by part type (e.g., Brakes > Calipers > Make > Model), not by vehicle . To find a part, you must know your vehicle's year, engine, and axle type, and then jump between sections. A beginner can spend 20 minutes hunting for a simple oil seal.

While a PDF version exists, the online search tool feels like an afterthought. It lacks the predictive text and advanced filtering of modern e-commerce sites (e.g., AutoDoc or RockAuto). The digital index is purely alphabetical; there is no "fitment guarantee" calculator. You still need to manually verify dimensions.
