Not only is Serpent in the buisness of making quality cars, but they are also in the buisness to make money.
I'm all for someone making money, however this is really a short cut/cop out. To have such a polished product and leave this literately hanging out is odd. Its such an obvious thing.. anyone that walks over and looks at the car asks about it or points out something is wrong... When all the other parts fit perfect and toward the end of the build it leaves folks wondering if they did something wrong putting it together?

Personally I'm planning to grind off the end and put in a new flat spot on the pin to correct this & avoid anymore comments.
