Serpent 733 Sirio engine mount

Serpent have released this new top-engine mount bracket to allow the user to fit the latest version Sirio .12 engines into the 733 chassis. Due to the positioning of the holes of the Sirio engine-mount and the case shape being different, this special mount is needed. Made from top quality CNC machined aluminium, it has been engraved and anodised and is a direct replacement, with no other modifications needed.
