Vehicle Speedometer Tachometer Specification Example for Courier Fleets: Adjustable Type
Vehicle Speedometer Tachometer Specification Example for Courier Fleets: Adjustable Type
This is a worked specification for vehicle speedometer tachometer in a adjustable 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 adjustable 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 a fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench.

Example specification
| Item | Vehicle Speedometer Tachometer |
|---|---|
| Application | Courier Fleets |
| Version | Adjustable Type |
| Base material | Magnesium Alloy |
| Controlled dimensions | 4 key dimensions, recorded per lot |

| Finish | zinc plated |
| MOQ | 2,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 14 working days, 3 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 — Magnesium Alloy, 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
- gravity casting
- powder coating
- ultrasonic cleaning
- heat treatment
- surface grinding
- sintering
Where this example applies
Programmes that run adjustable type most often specify this build for courier fleets. Related applications include scooter fleets, city buses, fleet maintenance, racing teams, light trucks.
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
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 2000 pieces per line.
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 SAE J431-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 2000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
