If I'm understanding the piece you're refering to here
(http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=3049) (I believe Gary Istok
calls them "Gable Connectors"), you should only need one of these pieces at
the top of the 'T' in the roof, not three. You can use the regualr double
slope peak pieces to connect the two opposing sides, and then one of the
pieces you describe to join the perpendicular roof line. You may have been
doing that all ready, but it didn't sound like it from your need for three
of them. But maybe I'm just not understanding how the roof line looks.
And I checked my parts database and as others have replied to you, the only
set I have gotten any of these parts form in black is the Robo Raptor set
2152. But it came with 10 of them!
Good luck,
Kim

But, one peak brick and one gable leaning on it.. so obvious! (...) (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)
