(...) We are both partially right - but there is a generic problem with these parts. The important dimension is the position of the axis of rotation of the click hinge, relative to the brick. For the geometry to work this must be the same distance (...) (20 years ago, 20-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
