Hydraulic Brake Specification Example for Camper Conversions: Drilled and Slotted
Hydraulic Brake Specification Example for Camper Conversions: Drilled and Slotted
This is a worked specification for hydraulic brake 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 camper conversions 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 | Hydraulic Brake |
|---|---|
| Application | Camper Conversions |
| Version | Drilled and Slotted |
| Base material | Carbon Fibre Composite |
| Controlled dimensions | 4 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.2 mm |
| Finish | zinc plated |
| MOQ | 2,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 10 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | SAE J431 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Carbon Fibre Composite, 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
- laser cutting
- anodising
- rubber vulcanisation
- CNC machining
- gravity casting
- heat treatment
Where this example applies
Programmes that run drilled and slotted most often specify this build for camper conversions. Related applications include racing teams, assembly programmes, scooter fleets, long-haul trucks, camper conversions.
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.
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 SAE J431-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. SAE J431 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.
