Well, this was when the knuckles came off the pivot balls.

I saw exact replicas of Serpent T shirts that were made in China too. I was suspicious why they were so cheap but when I saw the label behind the T shirt, it was not by Serpent. Why am I not surprise since you can get exact replicas of Rolex and Brietlings...
So the cap that you got was indeed a replica because the original caps and official wears like T shirts and jackets are indeed made in Holland.

Some strong statements about a car you have never seen for real.
Good luck with the new 710 guys. May the force be with you.

I will take picture on the inside of the cap so serpent is aware on these knockoffs!

Universals? That would be a nice option but for me, I kinda like the ruggedness of the dogbones. When installed correctly, they should not pop out. Sure they pop out in a crash which mine did but at least they do not break... At least the Hudy ones do not. Well, this was when the knuckles came off the pivot balls.

Woow, you make me sound like Schumacher... It was with Thomas and I did not lap him... Get it right !! 
It was Saturday and it was not exposed pipe !! It was plank wood !But I was surprised that I only bent the pivot pin. The bulkhead and the rear lower arm is still OK. Funny how the pivot pin could jump out of the rear bulkhead. I thought the rear tire was a gonner since it took a direct hit but it was OK. One up for Speedmind !
