I'd say it makes sense to not model these holes in the 2951 as well.
Goood:)


As soon as I get it done, I'll put the measurements up on my homepage
(I'll get back when it is done, probably a few days) for you to
review, as some of the measurements where taken in a rather hmm
creative way:)

correction: I will not put the measurements up, as they are changing as I get
along. Look below for more on this.

Great!  I wish you good luck on this part.  It's a tough one.
As of now, it looks like the worst part is figuring out how to attack it:) And
I think I've hit some good ore:)

I have come up with a new strategy for creating the part 2951, I'm working on,
which goes as:

Looking at the measurements i'd made i decided that the radius for the rounded
(outside) part had to be 40 LDU (LDraw Units) = 10 LU (Lego Units) = 16 mm and
the thickness 4 LDU

By attaching a 1X16 technic beam to two of the pegholes on the part, I was
able to get the angles of the two flat surfaces.

Now given the diameter and the angles and the assumption that whereever
possible the measurements are in whole LU's i was able to fairly quickly get
the rest of the measures for the flat parts.

Be carefull not to confuse LDU's fo LU's :) I had to do some recalculating at
times :)

The benefits of doing it this way, is that you don't have to fiddle to get the
rounded and the flat parts to meet.

This is status as of right now:
