Hi,
This is driving me crazy - I THINK I’ve done the searches correctly but I can’t
find anything..
Does LEGO make a pin that has studs on both sides?
I can distinctly remember building a recent kit (maybe a SW Mini? Spider Man?)
that had a really small Technic pin in it. This pin fit into the underside of a
plate, and allowed you to put another part 180 degrees to the first part..
I don’t have any clone parts (well, except for the ones I made myself!) so I
couldn’t have been thinking of other companies hermaphrodite parts..
If this part exists, can you tell me the LEGO part number?
Thanks,
Darrell

| (...) Nope. Not that I've ever seen. (...) The only pin with a stud on it is the (URL) 1/2 pin>, though the TECHNIC pin tip is only slightly wider than a stud, and can usually be used like one.

| (...) Like others have said, no I don't think there's such a pin. However, I have tried using this part: (URL) When I was a kid, I broke the "clip" part off the 1x1 plate and used the round clip to attach two plates back to back. You'll have a (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.parts, FTX)

| (...) No, Lego apparently can't justify the cost of producing the mold for such a part, nor that of a plate with studs on both sides; however, you can have your fill of useful parts like this: (URL) :-) Mark (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.parts, FTX)

| (...) Just for the sake of completeness, I'll mention that to my knowledge Tyco produced and sold the only LEGO-compatible single pin male:male connector. Tyco also produced a 2x2 male:male connector plate that was thinner than a normal plate, as (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.parts, FTX)

| (...) Yes and no. A year back or so, someone was asking if TLC had ever made 1x1 plates in orange. I could not find any, but I did try some LEGO-modification by taking a 1x1 plate with clip-lite and very carefully trimming off the clip-lite with an (...)
