them would set the actual color to be used.

Thanks a lot for the above, for a minute I was quite lost, but offcourse, it
can't be any other way (the structure, not me being lost:)).

the tubes, since it is similar to the ones on the airtank (where there made
primitives for that one?) and the other cylinders as well as the valves.

I think I've accumulated the nescessary info now:)

(...) I don't think "primitive" would be the correct term, but a sub-part (for the parts\s folder) would be. It didn't make sense to sub-part the "nozzle"/"connector" for the pneumatic tube on the air tank, since it is different from the "nozzle" on (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Like Jacob said, the metal rod should be done as chrome, 383. To achieve maximum color flexibility, and to allow the plunger to be moved in and out, you'll need to use multiple files for this part. To let the plunger move, you'd need to use (...) (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
