Really.  How extraordinary.  I must have been off my rocker when I made
that part.  I wonder if there was any particular reason I chose that
measurement, or if I was just feeling rebellious.

Thanks for pointing this out.  I'll double-check the size on a real
30082.dat, and then fix the part file.

(...) I used the code for 30082.dat, "Arm Piece with Towball and Clip", as a startnig point. Inside that DAT file, there is a dome (4-8sphe.dat), used for the "front" half of the towball, that has a diameter of _14_, not 16. Franklin (26 years ago, 13-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
