Leather Steering Wheel Grip Specification Example for Courier Fleets: Fixed Type
Leather Steering Wheel Grip Specification Example for Courier Fleets: Fixed Type
This is a worked specification for leather steering wheel grip 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 courier fleets is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually premature wear on the first batch.

How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Natural Rubber, 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
- assembly line testing
- rubber vulcanisation
- heat treatment
- injection moulding
- cold forging
Where this example applies
Programmes that run fixed type most often specify this build for courier fleets. Related applications include utility trailers, export programmes, light trucks, rental motorcycles, dealership service.
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 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.
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.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 1000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Send the part number, the annual volume and the target market, and we will come back with a specification and a sampling plan.
