Good Practices
Process and Quality Assurance Systems
A formalized Process and Quality Assurance system may be helpful in consistently producing
high-quality products. An overview of some of the key items for such a system are outlined in this
section.
Quality Assurance
Completed Unit Sign-Off: All control items should be inspected with a written sign-off. All labels
should be inspected and signed off, including verification that the information on the labels is
correct. All appropriate systems should be checked for leaks. A road test should be performed to
verify that all systems are operating correctly. All systems and functions that were provided by
Ford should be checked to make sure that they function correctly after the build process.
The modifier’s Process and Quality Assurance Systems should also make sure that appropriate
training is provided to the employees.
Minimum and Maximum Screw Sizes
When installing aftermarket equipment, avoid using fasteners that are too long for the application
or are in an area which might damage vehicle components, including wiring, brake lines, fuel tank
and lines, powertrain components, exhaust system and suspension. Details for mounting
equipment in the trunk, as well as appropriate fasteners, can be found in Section 4, Cargo
Mounting Considerations.
