Hmm.. maybe I should really think another three dozen times more about what I propose.
  1. 32174.dat - Technic Ball Socket Single 3 x 2 Circular
  2. 47296.dat - Technic Ball Socket Single 3 x 2 Rectangular
  3. 47296.dat - Technic Ball Socket Double 5 x 2 Circular
  4. 61053.dat - Technic Ball Socket Double 5 x 2 Rectangular
  5. 50898.dat - Technic Ball Socket Double 7 x 2 Circular
  6. 61054.dat - Technic Ball Socket Double 7 x 2 Rectangular
  7. 64311.dat - Technic Ball Socket Double 7 x 2 Rectangular with Perp. Holes
