 Dear LEGO / 3403
    Double sided plate —Sarah Mather
   Dear Lego- While talking to some fellow AFOL about connecting two plates together flat side to flat side, I thought wouldn't just be great if Lego came out with a double sided plate. I bet people would go crazy for them, especialy the people in the (...) (23 years ago, 27-Aug-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)

   (...) Don't forget they also make the opposite: a 2x2 plate with stud holes on both sides. Both pieces are wonderfully useful, and while I build pure, I admit to having gazed at them longingly. Rick Clark (23 years ago, 30-Sep-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)

TLC won't be able to make this element until it's the (...) (23 years ago, 30-Sep-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)

There is also a 1x1 round double-male piece which is handy to have, (...) (23 years ago, 1-Oct-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)
   
        Re: Double sided plate —Fredrik Glöckner
   (...) Are these plates or bricks? My experience indicates that a stud is slightly taller than half the width of a plate. Hence, a double female connector has to be taller than a plate, I believe. To verify my experience above, try to put a plate (...) (23 years ago, 1-Oct-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)
   
        Re: Double sided plate —Charles Eric McCarthy
   (...) True, but Tyco plates are half brick height, so there is room for the studs. If it were done by Lego, they would probably want to make the double-female connector be two plates in thickness. /Eric McC/ (23 years ago, 1-Oct-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)
