Hi, You can get those in the Y-wing (in the Tie/Y-Wing set). They are part of the engines. A while back, this was on sale as a "combo" back for 1/2 price at Toys R Us. I haven't used too many parts from that set until now. Actually, that set appears (...) (23 years ago, 25-Feb-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)

Thanks. I agonized for quite a long time on how to attach the horizontal pieces. At one point, I was designing an all-technic frame around which I was going to wrap all the bricks.
