Steel Spoke Specification Example for Dealership Service: Low Maintenance Version
Steel Spoke Specification Example for Dealership Service: Low Maintenance Version
This is a worked specification for steel spoke in a low maintenance version 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 low maintenance version version exists because the duty cycle on dealership service is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually reorders that did not match the approved sample.
Example specification
| Item | Steel Spoke |
|---|---|
| Application | Dealership Service |
| Version | Low Maintenance Version |
| Base material | Reinforced Nylon |
| Controlled dimensions | 4 key dimensions, recorded per lot |

| Sampling | 14 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | ISO 9001 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Reinforced Nylon, 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
- shot blasting
- sintering
- ultrasonic cleaning
- assembly line testing
- laser cutting
- injection moulding
Where this example applies
Programmes that run low maintenance version most often specify this build for dealership service. Related applications include three-wheelers, utility trailers, passenger cars, municipal fleets, export programmes.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 2.5 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 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 the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the ISO 9001-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
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.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
Ask for the current catalogue and the specification sheet for this line.
