124 Machanical Parts Catolog

Post by GOPAPA »

I purchased this catolog from Matt that he scanned and offered to us .. I want to say thank you to Matt and give him a boost for what he has offered to all on the forum ..Lots of info and good quality
I can keep it in on the internet or down load it ,,but I do not know how to copy it with my copier as it is a rolling text catolog like some of the venders Catologs are ..
I want to make it into a loose leaf binder form booklet by copying only what I want to copy . there are some things that I could just keep on my computrer and use when I need them .. I want to be able to take a page out of all the information and be able to take it with me to the car and look at it there ..

If you can help me ,please keep it in simple language as I am not a computer whiz.. LOL and thx too.. LD

As you scroll through it, you should notice it will indicate what page you are on out of the series, example: 3/35 = you are on the third page out of thirty five pages. When you are on that particular page, go to the print function and select the option: "current page" You could just print the whole thing out and throw away the pages you don't need, Choose double sided printing if you want to save paper.

I had to print out a copy to do the PDF process faster, and to assure every page was there. Like you and probably everyone else, I like to take pages with me to the car so I don't get the original copy all greasy. Considering how close the figures and part numbers are to the edge of the page it's impossible to put it in a three ring binder without punching through some of the part numbers. If you play around with the print functions, you should be able to scale it down so there is enough margin to do the three hole punch.

It is still available, if anyone else wants it. It’s not really for sale, I just suggested if someone wanted to make a donation for my time of scanning it, assembling it, and sending it. Not required, but appreciated.

Ideally I'd like to post it on the internet so any Fiat enthusiast could have access to it similar to Brad Artigue's articles, however those articles are his own creation and the Fiat manual is copywrited. Also like papa, I'm not that computer savvy.

Matt,

I can help you putting it on the internet for a few weeks for everybody to download if you send me a copy, I will use my companys webpage :roll: so thats why it only be posted for a short time.
Do you have any idea how big that file is?

Maybe I will put my documentation there to, I have an orignal 360 pages fiat factory spare parts catalog that was given to most european dealers. Its for 124 coupé/spider 1600cc and 1800cc, I know that some of you allready have it since it was avalible for downloading before but please let me know if you want me to post it again.

I'd never holler at you LD. Just didn't know how well your eyes were! Dang, if he doesn't have time to help you I don't suppose he could help me. :? I worked for an hour trying to help my 9 year old make a graph on the computer for her science project. She ended up getting the markers out and drawing it out. :(

I'm afraid that time has already come. She was typing up her project and, being the nine year old that she is, was typing each word in a different color. Wow, I was amazed at how she could make the colors change so quickly! But, I had the opportunity tonight to show her a thing or two when we went skating at the local roller rink....like how not to fall...yep, I showed her. :oops:
