Hmmm. I didnt even try that - just chose the grey cos it looked more like
the steel of your average hydraulic ram 8?) Might try a red one too....
I actually thought about getting a steel rod & inserting into a plastic
sleeve - this would also allow me to increase the length, and get the
geometry better. But that would ruin my 100% LEGO solution 8?)
Oh, wait ... I already ruined that with the string 8?(

Thanks for putting it in the "Cool new MOCs" too 8?)
