Serpent 733 Rear end stiffener

New for the Serpent 733 is this precision machined aluminium rear end stiffener. To be mounted between the rear brackets and the legs of the lower engine mount support, the long screws replace the standard versions in the car mounted from the top. This option offers an extra possibility to play with the rear end flex of the car and will also increase rear end rigidness, so the chassis will be less prone to bending in the case of a rear end crash.
