Hi,

Again, while doing these parts for LGEO, I discovered the exhaust pipes old
71137 and new (with Pin) x855 (unoffical by GuyVivan) to be misaligned.
They have a different origin point, which is not the problem.
If you place them in a the holes of a technic brick (old one with using
additional pin), they are misaligned by 6 LDU. In real, the line up in all
dimensions, except for the wider section, which is correct in the parts.
I think the curved portion has the same inner radius, where in the old part
outer radius is 4 LDU and 6 in the newer. Seems the quarter torus is only scaled
in the new version, which is wrong, becaus scaling a torus changes both radius
values.
Here is a picture to understand this mess I tried to describe...

I will do the LGEO versions to align correctly, based on the correct older
pinless version. Should be fixed in x855 before official release, I think

(...) This problem should be fixed with the update I made in November 2007! Do you have noticed that? cu mikeheide (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
