Bearing Eccenter Part # Clarification
Hi Guys.
After racing my 966 last weekend, I must've been 'kissing'
too many track pipes with the front wheels and have damaged 3 out of 4 front bearing eccenters (the ones that insert into the Steering Block #903233).
From the manual, i'm seeing that the replacement item is part #909396, but the Serpent website does not call these up for that application??
http://www.serpent.com/product/909396/
Is there an ally upgrade for this part, as it seems to be a weak point?? I lost a front wheel/axle assembly during the main due to this part failing.
I see there is part #903160 ally bearing eccenter, but I beleive this is an upgrade for part #903118 (the bearing eccenters for the front one-way axle).
The one-way runs a larger OD bearing #1347 (12 x 21) rather than the wheel bearings #1346 (12 x 18).
Can anyone clarify what the ID of the ally bearing eccenters are please??
Thanks in advance. Tom

Anybody had the experience of the 3 screws becomes loose after a couple of runs for the new 2 speed housing of the TE edition. It caused my 2nd gear to strip. From what I observed, the screws becomes loose first, after that it un-loosened out of the spur making the holes of the 2nd speed housing elongated. It was downhill from there. Is it the material? or is the screw length not long enough? Stock is M3x5mm. The recommended shims are in place as per manual. Gearing used is 16/20, 49/45. The design could be further improve with the inclusion of locating studs(similar to the design of the mugen spurs) on the spurs itself given that the gear housing already have 6 holes. Could someone share their experience?

SL8 gear box vs SL6 gear box.
Currently I am running my 966 evo with SL6 gear box.
Is it worth to upgrade the SL6 gear box to SL8 gear?
What is the major advantage of SL8 againist SL6 gear box??
pls advise.
Thanks.
