Ok, Ok, It's me again...
I have found this part on another set #6837 "Cosmic Creeper".
http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?query=6837
In this set the part is at a square 90 degrees. No Kidding, I even had my wife
compare this part to the one in the #6903 "Bug Blaster" set.
http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?query=6903
She even agreed that they were at different angles.
So What I am saying is that #6903 is 3.8 to 4 deg. pointed down and #6837 is
at 0 deg.(90 deg. to the 1 x 2 plate)
For a simple test. If you have 2 of the same part, snap them both to a 4x8
plate and face the 1x2 stud opposite directions, then look across the 1x2's.
I have 2 of each part, for a total of 4. All seem to have the same 30209
number molded in them. The other numbers (I'm assuming these are moulding
cavity numbers) change just a little bit set#6903 they are "2-02" and "1-02"
and set #6837 "2-02" and "3-02".
So maybe that 9 deg. is really possible...(Didn't mean to doubt you guys...)
Got any suggestions?
Paul
