Slim down the SRX8 GT rear with magnesium bearingblocks

The Serpent 601149 Bearingblock Rear Low Left + Right Magnesium SRX8 GT is built to replace the stock rear blocks and reduce overall mass. Crafted from magnesium, the pair saves 18.1 grams versus OEM pieces. That reduction helps improve responsiveness when accelerating out of corners.

Material benefits for track-focused setups

Magnesium provides a lightweight solution that still offers sufficient strength for racing use. By lowering unsprung and rotating mass, drivers often gain a sharper feel through direction changes.

Direct compatibility with Cobra SRX8 GT models

These bearingblocks are sized and drilled to match the Cobra SRX8 GT specification for a direct fit. They are intended as a straightforward upgrade for those maintaining or refining race rigs.

Do I need new screws to fit these blocks?

In most cases the original hardware will work, but check screw length and thread engagement. Replace damaged fasteners with equivalent grade parts if needed.

How should I inspect the parts after hard impacts?

Look for cracks, deformation and stripped threads. If any damage is found replace the block to avoid drivetrain issues.

Will these change handling dramatically?

The weight saving is modest but noticeable; expect a subtler rear feel that may require minor setup tuning to match driving style.

Are these parts finished or do they need coating?

They are supplied as machined magnesium parts. If you want additional corrosion protection or a custom look, have finishing done by a qualified hobby machinist.

Is the weight saving per pair or per piece?

The stated reduction is 18.1 grams per pair, comparing the two magnesium blocks to the factory pair.
