(...) Actually, James had some of the same issues that we are trying to deal with now because at first he did not know that 7039 was the official part number for the 4-stud wheel with its axle. In 1998-05 he issued 479.dat and 479a.dat. 7039 did not (...) (20 years ago, 8-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad)

Scala Jewelery Rings set 4306 contained three different sized rings. Unfortunately I have only two of these rings, so I could not create all three.
