Thermostat for Subaru Forester: Kevlar Composite
This thermostat for the Subaru Forester is specified around kevlar composite, which decides how it behaves in service far more than the part name does. We build to a written specification — base material, dimensions, finish and packing — and hold that specification on file so every reorder reproduces the approved piece.
The usual reason a programme changes supplier is not unit price. It is a specification nobody had written down, or premature wear on the first batch. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Questions buyers ask
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 3000 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 CCC-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. CCC documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 3000 pieces per line.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
