Car Cooling System Specification Example for Racing Teams: Fixed Type
Car Cooling System Specification Example for Racing Teams: Fixed Type
This is a worked specification for car cooling system in a fixed type programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The fixed type version exists because the duty cycle on racing teams is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a supplier who changed material without saying so.
Example specification
| Item | Car Cooling System |
|---|---|
| Application | Racing Teams |
| Version | Fixed Type |
| Base material | Aluminium Alloy |
| Controlled dimensions | 3 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.1 mm |
| Finish | as machined |
| MOQ | 200 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 14 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | E-mark |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Aluminium Alloy, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- injection moulding
- rubber vulcanisation
- anodising
- laser cutting
- die casting
- robot welding
Where this example applies
Programmes that run fixed type most often specify this build for racing teams. Related applications include dealership service, off-road bikes, construction equipment, aftermarket retail, assembly programmes.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 1.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 200 pieces per line.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 200 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
