   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

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 xacto knife, therby yielding a 1x1 plate in orange. I kept staring at the abused clip-lite wondering what it might be good for... eureka! it has the equivalent of a male stud on both sides. So, yes, there is a way to use a Lego part to do what you want, but not exactly what the gods in Billund had intended tho.

cheers, Ray
