eitech Accessories FAQ: Your Most Common Questions Answered

Quick Answer

Most eitech questions come down to identifying the right part: check the SKU on the packaging or manual, match the dimensions and finish to your model, and order from the same line when possible. For common replacements, the Axle 4x105 mm professional, galvanized (SKU 01359P) and Bracket 3x1-hole (large) (SKU 01202) cover many builds, while the Seat element, black (SKU 01570) is a Manufaktur-line detail part. When a specification isn't listed, treat that as a sign to measure your existing part before ordering.

If you've ever held a tiny metal part and wondered whether it's the right one, you're in good company. eitech builders ask the same handful of questions again and again: How do I identify a part? What do the SKU codes mean? Which axle or bracket fits my model? This FAQ collects the most common eitech questions and answers them directly, without sending you through a 2,000-word manual first.

The answers below focus on practical decisions you can make at your workbench or while ordering. Where a catalog fact isn't supplied—like exact hole spacing on a bracket—we say so and suggest measuring instead of guessing. Use the section headings to jump to your question, and check the product facts at the end for specific part details.

How do I identify which eitech part I need?

Start with the SKU. eitech parts carry codes like 01359P for the Axle 4x105 mm professional or 01202 for the Bracket 3x1-hole (large). If you still have the original packaging or manual, that code is the fastest way to confirm a match. If not, measure the part you're replacing—length, hole count, and finish—and compare those numbers to the product listing.

Finish matters too. A galvanized axle like the 4x105 mm professional is treated for corrosion resistance, so swapping in an untreated part changes how your model handles moisture over time. When a listing doesn't state a dimension you need, don't assume it matches; measure your existing part or contact the store before ordering.

• Write down the SKU from your manual before you start searching.
• Measure length and hole count with calipers or a ruler—don't eyeball it.

What does the Manufaktur line mean for accessories?

Manufaktur is a line designation, not a separate system. Parts like the Seat element, black (SKU 01570) and the Axle 4x105 mm professional are tagged Manufaktur, which tells you they belong to that family of components. In practice, this helps you group replacements: if your model was built with Manufaktur parts, staying within that line keeps finishes and tolerances consistent.

It doesn't mean the part only fits Manufaktur sets. The tag is a useful filter when you're browsing, but your actual compatibility check is still the SKU, dimensions, and hole pattern. If a listing shows the Manufaktur tag but not a dimension you need, treat the tag as a starting point, not a guarantee.

• Use the Manufaktur tag to narrow your search, then verify with SKU and size.
• Don't assume a line tag overrides a missing measurement—ask or measure.

Can I replace a part with a different size or finish?

Sometimes, but it changes the build. A longer axle than the original can shift wheel alignment; a shorter one may not reach through the bracket. A different finish—say, plain steel instead of galvanized—can affect how the part holds up if your model is stored in a damp room. The Axle 4x105 mm professional is galvanized, so it's a reasonable choice where moisture is a concern.

If you're substituting because the exact part is unavailable, test the fit before tightening everything down. Build the affected section loosely, check that wheels spin and brackets sit flush, then tighten. If something binds, the substitute is the likely cause.

• Test-fit substitutes loosely before final tightening.
• Keep a note of any substitutions so future repairs are easier.

How many spare parts should I keep on hand?

For small, cheap components like brackets and axles, keeping a few extras saves a second order later. The Bracket 3x1-hole (large) and Axle 4x105 mm professional are the kind of parts that disappear into carpets or get bent during disassembly. A small bag of each covers most emergencies.

You don't need to stock every SKU. Track which parts you've replaced more than once—those are your high-wear items. If you find yourself replacing the same bracket repeatedly, check whether the surrounding assembly is putting unusual stress on it, rather than just buying more.

• Keep at least two spares of any part you've replaced before.
• If one part keeps failing, inspect the assembly, not just the part.

Where can I find help if my question isn't answered here?

Check the product listing first—catalog facts like SKU, line, and finish are often enough to confirm a match. If a dimension or compatibility detail isn't listed, that's a gap in the catalog, not something to guess at. Contact the store with your model name and the SKU you're replacing, and ask for the missing measurement.

For build-specific problems—wobbling, loose screws, or alignment—the site's how-to guides cover those in detail. This FAQ is about identifying and choosing accessories; mechanical fixes live in the repair and assembly articles.

• Have your model name and old SKU ready when you ask for help.
• Use repair guides for mechanical issues, not the FAQ.

Quick Checks Before You Order

Match the SKU

Compare the code on your old part or manual with the listing—e.g., 01359P for the 4x105 mm axle, 01202 for the 3x1-hole bracket. If the SKU matches, you're almost certainly ordering the right part.

Verify the finish

Galvanized parts like the 4x105 mm axle are treated for corrosion resistance; a different finish changes how the part ages. Choose the same finish unless you have a reason to switch.

Measure when specs are missing

If a listing doesn't state a dimension you need, measure your existing part or ask the store before ordering. A missing spec is a prompt to measure, not to guess.

Product Facts at a Glance

• Axle 4x105 mm professional, galvanized: Galvanized axle from the eitech range, Manufaktur tag, SKU 01359P, in the Accesories category. The galvanized finish resists corrosion, making it a sensible replacement where moisture is a concern; the SKU lets you confirm an exact match.
• Bracket 3x1-hole (large): Manufaktur-line bracket, SKU 01202, Standard option. A common structural part worth keeping as a spare; the SKU and Standard option help you reorder the same version.
• Seat element, black: Manufaktur-line seat element in black finish, SKU 01570. A detail part for builds that include seating; the black finish and SKU make it easy to match if you're replacing a lost or damaged element.

Most eitech accessory questions resolve with three steps: find the SKU, check the finish and dimensions, and measure when the listing is silent. Keep a couple of common spares like the 4x105 mm axle or 3x1-hole bracket on hand, and use the repair guides for mechanical fixes. If a detail still isn't clear, ask before you order—it's faster than returning the wrong part.
