   Hello All,

First, a small quiz for you lot: Can you figure out what parts I’ve used to build the inlet grating of the storm drain seen in the following picture? And how I’ve attached those and the lid of the drain?




Hinge Bar 2 & 1/2 with 2 and 3 Fingers on Ends

Well spotted, Jeremy. If you have these parts, try to build one.

The half plate difference in height doesn't allow for the lid to be fixed with a
stud connection. The lid is held on place against vertical motion by a
"tail"-plate extending under the pedestrian pavement tiles, and against
horizontal sliding by a piece of rigid tube acting as filler between the forward
edge of the "tail"-plate and the upward pointing fingers of the Hinge Bar parts.

With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.
