Uhh...I'm not sure, but i don't think so. I don't recall how Dan used them,
but you wouldn't be able to have 1/4 of the cylinder cut out, as the 4x4
ones are in halves. I'm sure there's some kind of way to make it work.
My original idea for the airlock on Dundee's was two of the 4x4 half
cylinders sitting on a turntable, connected together with a 2x2/1x4 hinge
plate. But that didn't work out.
Thanks!
