Handbrake Cable for Volvo XC60: Polypropylene
This handbrake cable for the Volvo XC60 is specified around polypropylene, 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 reorders that did not match the approved sample, or warranty claims traced back to a single lot. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Questions buyers ask
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 7 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 500 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
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 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.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
