No, it's not brick it forward or "you suck yu gi oh", I actually have a somewhat Lego related question: I'm trying to build a hinge in this space: (URL) I want to start with a 1x4 plate attached to a 2x4 plate and have the 2x4 plate hinge open in (...)

(...) I forgot about that part completely! On revisiting this issue, I have a further problem with the space. :( I think it's even smaller--a 3x1 on the bottom and a 4x1 on the top. Any ideas?

(...) how about 2 of these: (URL) with a lightsabre blade (or similar) between them and an appropriate part to connect the top? (you can tell i'm writing this as I think of it, as well as butting into the famous rtl...!) -Matt J (19 years ago, 15-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)

(...) Good idea Matt - How about something like 48336 (Plate 1 x 2 with Handle Type 2) I don't have any, but they look like they would snap onto a couple of 2555's -Rob A> (19 years ago, 15-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Yeah, that would work - useful in a tight situation if there was only a 1x2 space available at the bottom. I have a couple of these (titan XP) and I used them to great effect on my f1 car. which i should finish. (19 years ago, 16-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) *grin* did I make chris blush? oops... (blush) 8417 eh? I have one of those :) I'm the sort that only buys one of any model I buy. I can't see a use for any of the parts in this situation though. to be fair, I have a lot of respect for you (...) (19 years ago, 16-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
