Engine Starter System Specification Example for Workshop Replacements: Two-Piece Construction
Engine Starter System Specification Example for Workshop Replacements: Two-Piece Construction
This is a worked specification for engine starter system in a two-piece construction 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 two-piece construction version exists because the duty cycle on workshop replacements is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually documentation that arrived after the container shipped.
Example specification
| Item | Engine Starter System |
|---|---|
| Application | Workshop Replacements |

| MOQ | 3,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 7 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | DOT |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Polypropylene, 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
- CNC machining
- injection moulding
- laser cutting
- shot blasting
- assembly line testing
- gravity casting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run two-piece construction most often specify this build for workshop replacements. Related applications include aftermarket retail, workshop replacements, construction equipment, courier fleets, export programmes.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 4.0 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
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 3000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
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 testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. DOT documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Send the part number, the annual volume and the target market, and we will come back with a specification and a sampling plan.
