It looks similar. Will it actually fit?
- The starting point
- A component needs a new supplier. A catalogue shows an alternative, but a photograph cannot confirm dimensions, materials or tolerances.
- How we can help
- We bring requirements and manufacturer responses into one comparison so the buyer can assess the replacement before ordering.
A comparison that makes differences visible
A list of matches, deviations and questions to resolve before placing an order.
How we approach it
- Request the drawing, material grade and critical parameters of the original component.
- Obtain the manufacturer’s offer and identify differences. Agree a sample or testing where needed.
- Pass the comparison to the buyer’s technical specialists and record the agreed specification.
Qualified specialists confirm technical suitability; visual similarity is not sufficient.
