No, he means when you can't get in to the gap to fit a friction pin. So,
you push one of these half-into the sub-assembly, then when you bring two
sub-assemblies together you can just push them right through to hold it all
together. This is actually shown in the instructions for the 8428 Turbo
Command car. And I've got some orange ones. :-P
