Since the design I based the part on is based on 1/16" = 4 LDU, the parts are
a tiny bit too small, so it's kind of difficult to attach a regular Lego
brick to the bottom.  Attaching to the top works fine though.  I may take
some calipers to a brick and try to improve the dimensions a bit...unless
someone has already done that?

Snippit from the FAQ:
http://www.lugnet.com/~330/FAQ/Build/dimensions

-------------------------
From Robert Mufano:

Brick height    9.582 mm   0.37724 in
Plate height    3.194 mm   0.12575 in
Stud pitch      7.985 mm   0.31437 in

The following popular approximations are often used. Note that the Imperial
approximations are each about 1 percent smaller than the corresponding S.I.
(Metric) approximation:

                      S.I.             Imperial
Brick height    9.6 mm = 48/5 mm   0.375 in  = 3/8 in
Plate height    3.2 mm = 16/5 mm   0.125 in  = 1/8 in
Stud pitch      8.0 mm             0.3125 in = 5/16 in

  Aluminum 2x4 bricks
 
[Please set the follow-up to the appropriate group] I'm currently taking a CNC class at school, so for a little side project I machined a couple 2x4 bricks out of aluminum on the EMCO PC 50 machines we have. Since I wanted to use a 1/8" flat end (...) (23 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.cad)
