Clip-On Mirror Replacement Specification Example for Camper Conversions: Budget Line
Clip-On Mirror Replacement Specification Example for Camper Conversions: Budget Line
This is a worked specification for clip-on mirror replacement in a budget line 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 budget line version exists because the duty cycle on camper conversions is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually inconsistent hardness between lots.
Example specification
| Item | Clip-On Mirror Replacement |
|---|---|
| Application | Camper Conversions |
| Version | Budget Line |
| Base material | Brass |
| Controlled dimensions | 5 key dimensions, recorded per lot |

| Finish | zinc plated |
| MOQ | 1,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 7 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | SGS |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Brass, 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
- anodising
- gravity casting
- sintering
- heat treatment
- surface grinding
- laser cutting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run budget line most often specify this build for camper conversions. Related applications include delivery vans, agricultural trailers, assembly programmes, fleet maintenance, long-haul trucks.
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
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.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the SGS-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
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.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 7 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
