Car accessory survey (Assignment One)

You are looking to open a car accessory shop and need to access the product variety and expected amount that people would spend. Present your findings in the form of a report. One of the main areas is the fitment of alloy wheels and their subsequent implication on the vehicles speedometer accuracy.

In order to complete the requirements for a Level 2 portfolio it is necessary to complete Car Accessory Survey and Designing Your Own Workshop assignments.

Car accessory survey (Tutor guidance)

This assignment could include the following

 Design a Questionnaire sheet which could capture the following  Age  20 Male/20 Female  Own vehicle  Accessories etc  Range of costs they may spend e.g. £0-100 etc

 Compare costs using appropriate calculations e.g. mean  Display data using appropriate charts e.g. determine most popular accessory  Determine the effect of changing wheel size on rolling radius and hence % speedometer error

E.g.14” wheel diameter convert to metric and add tyre profile such as R45 = 45mm wall height so we would get 14*25.4 + 45mm x 2 = overall diameter Circumference = D or 2r Work out original and compare as a percentage

 Develop appropriate graph e.g. tyre profile difference against % error to original wheel combination  Incorporate additional information from car magazines APPLICATION OF NUMBER LEVEL 2

The assignment could include the following

 Produce detailed scale plans of the layout and equipment that you require for the workshop. Note use an odd shaped building e.g. L/Y shaped  Find the sizes of the machinery that you will use e.g. manual lathe 1.75m X 0.75m x 1.5m (include any information that you have sourced from the Internet/catalogues)  Determine the volume of the workspace to ensure that it complies with Health and Safety requirements for recommended working space.  Determine the amount of money needed to buy the equipment and show what your monthly repayments could be using a realistic loan period and loan graph/chart  Conversion graph of feet to metres could also be used
