Electronic Stability Program Specification Example for Racing Teams: Drilled and Slotted
Electronic Stability Program Specification Example for Racing Teams: Drilled and Slotted
This is a worked specification for electronic stability program in a drilled and slotted 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 drilled and slotted 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 inconsistent hardness between lots.
Example specification
| Item | Electronic Stability Program |
|---|---|
| Application | Racing Teams |
| Version | Drilled and Slotted |
| Base material | Nylon 66 |
| Controlled dimensions | 6 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.5 mm |
| Finish | powder coated |
| MOQ | 200 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 7 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | IATF 16949 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Nylon 66, 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
- shot blasting
- gravity casting
- powder coating
- injection moulding
- cold forging
Where this example applies
Programmes that run drilled and slotted most often specify this build for racing teams. Related applications include utility trailers, fleet maintenance, delivery vans, light trucks, trailer axles.
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
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. IATF 16949 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
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 200 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the IATF 16949-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Tell us the model, the fitment and the quantity and we will hold a production slot for you.
