I checked these out last night. The new version, with the thin center ring,
results in a flush surface. That is, the center ring is 1/2 plate thick, so
that a tile on either side ends up flush with the 1x1 plate.
The old ones, however, have a center ring that is the same thickness as a
plate. As a result, there is still 0.75 plate thicknesses on either side of
the center ring. Therefore, a tile attached here projects 1/4 of a plate past
the 1x1, or 0.1 stud! It works!

I have to correct what I said above ... if the bracket plus a plate plus a tile
is the same width as a brick, that means the bracket is 0.2 studs thick, not
0.1 studs.

I checked this last night also - you're right. The bracket is 0.2 studs thick,
or 1/2 plate thick.
Therefore, for SNOT boat building, one can get some pretty tight SNOT fidelity
using 0.1 stud increments on the hull construction (and some example pieces
that could be used to achieve this):
0.0 studs - http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/30414
0.1 studs - http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/4081a plus a 1x1 plate mounted
sideways on the ring
0.2 studs - http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/4070 plus 1 plate or
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/2436
0.3 studs - http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3794 plus
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/30414 plus 2 plates
0.4 studs - http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/30414 plus 1 plate
0.5 studs - http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/4081a plus a 1x1 plate mounted
sideways on the ring, plus 1 more plate
0.6 studs - http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/4070 plus a plate or
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/2436 plus 1 plate
0.7 studs - http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3794 plus
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/30414 plus 3 plates
0.8 studs - http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/30414 plus 2 plates
0.9 studs - http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/4081a plus a 1x1 plate mounted
sideways on the ring, plus 2 plates
1.0 studs - same as 0.0 studs
I still haven't been able to figure out how to get 0.3 studs and 0.7 studs
without using a "1x2 tile with center stud"
(http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3794). The problem with part 3794 in this
application is that it eats up valuable wall space ... thoughts? ideas?
solutions?

| Hi Shaun - Wow, pretty advanced stuff. I think I learned some new techniques from your original post - thanks! I'm at work and don't have any pieces in front of me, but I'll try to address your questions... (...) 0.25? Not any way that I know of. (...) (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.build)
