They don't have any dark grey 1x8 technic bricks in the ISD but they do have black 1x8 technic bricks - maybe this was confusing you somewhat? They do, however, come in the 9754 DSDK kit, four to a kit. Very rare, IMHO, to find nowadays. ;-) There (...) (19 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic)

This is simply reversed in the adder/subtractor system. It's a small price to pay for (...) (19 years ago, 15-Apr-05, to lugnet.technic)
