I've finished the development of this part. It was a bit difficult, especially to measure the curved surfaces and then the Excel acrobatics to generate their Ldraw counterpart. I think the result did worth the effort. I submit the part to part (...) (20 years ago, 29-Nov-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Shouldn't it be a forward slash (s/6898s01.dat)? Parts use forward slash in the actual part code (which is good, because it makes viewers in other operating systems slightly easier to make). --Travis (20 years ago, 29-Nov-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) You can do it in LDAO as well, although there's no direct "round my decimals to 3 places" command. First, open your file in the editor. Second, go to Options | Decimals, and enter 3.
