Commercial vehicle brake hardware kits are often called fitting kits, repair kits, accessory kits or installation kits depending on the market. For overseas brake pad manufacturers, truck parts distributors and bus aftermarket buyers, these names can create RFQ confusion unless the buyer sends clear kit evidence.
Fuxin Brake / FuXinbrake, the public brand of Hangzhou Fuxin Auto Parts Co., Ltd., supplies truck and bus brake hardware kits as part of a one-stop brake component range: brake backing plates, NVH / anti-noise shims, hardware kits and tooling/dies. Buyers can also combine hardware kit inquiries with backing plate and shim matching for the same brake pad program.
1. Start with application and references
Truck, bus and trailer brake pad programs should be identified by more than one reference when possible. Buyers can send WVA, OE, FMSI, GDB/FDB, axle, caliper, vehicle application, local market reference or current supplier code. Multiple references reduce the risk of selecting a similar but incorrect kit.
If the buyer is developing a new aftermarket program, the RFQ should also state the target market, such as Middle East heavy-duty truck, Latin America bus fleet, European trailer, or African commercial vehicle aftermarket.
2. Confirm the complete kit content
A brake hardware kit may include clips, springs, pins, guide plates, retaining plates, wear indicators or other small fitting components. The buyer should not describe the product only as “repair kit” or “accessory kit.” A useful RFQ shows every part in the kit and the quantity required per pad set, axle set or carton.
Clear front/back photos, dimensions and sample weight are valuable when the kit is sourced from a local sample or an old package. If any component needs special elasticity, shape, coating, marking or packaging, include that requirement before quotation.
3. Match hardware kits with backing plates and shims
Hardware kit selection is connected to the brake pad backing plate, caliper and installation method. When buyers source backing plates, shims and hardware kits separately, small differences in holes, ears, slots or clip fitment may cause assembly problems.
Fuxin Brake can check backing plate coverage first using existing models and around 10 million pcs backing plate inventory. If the program needs a new or modified component, the in-house tooling center can review mold processing, development and modification before trial samples.
4. RFQ checklist for truck and bus brake hardware kits
| RFQ item | What to send | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Reference numbers | WVA, OE, FMSI, GDB/FDB, caliper or local market code. | Helps identify the correct commercial vehicle brake program. |
| Application | Truck, bus, trailer, axle, target market and pad family. | Prevents mixing similar kits used in different markets. |
| Kit content | Photos and quantities of clips, springs, pins, guide plates and retaining parts. | Defines the exact quotation scope. |
| Sample / drawing | Physical sample, clear photos, dimensions, material or coating requirement. | Supports accurate matching or new tooling review. |
| Commercial details | Quantity, packing, carton label, pallet rule, sample schedule and destination. | Controls export cost, MOQ discussion and delivery planning. |
5. When a one-stop component RFQ is better
For brake pad factories and aftermarket importers, one-stop sourcing is useful when the same program needs steel backs, shims and hardware kits. It allows the purchasing team to compare the complete component package rather than only one small item.
Fuxin Brake is positioned as a one-stop brake component supplier, not only a brake backing plate supplier. For commercial vehicle programs, buyers can request hardware kits together with brake backing plates, anti-noise shims, tooling/dies and sample development support.
