(...) I think you'll find many uses once you know the part actually exists and you own a few. Truthfully, I've only come across a few times when I've thought that a 1x2 liftarm would be useful. But now that I have a few of them, I'm using them all (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

Well, I guess I'll jump in now and present my list of wants: A decent socket for the towballs. I think the towball is an under-utilized part because there's a lack of decent parts with socket receptacles. For example, take the end of this part: (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) A project I'm working on could sure use them to decrease bulk a tad, but that would restrain my budget. It's too early in the building stage to know if I'll keep the design as is or totally rebuild it. Other than this time I don't remember me (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Why? The modification (i.e. the "fudged" part) works as desired and I'm definitely going to try it (thanks John). I don't have a Lego purist attitude (i.e. "I won't play with any part unless it's just as Lego made it") and I'm not going to (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) They're also in 8010 Darth Vader. A 1x2 liftarm is part I've been wanting for a long time. I'm really happy that there are an abundance of them in the new sets. (...) They're better (in some respects) than an ordinary ball-n-socket because (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

Ah, but you were asking for parts we want not fudges we can achieve! I want the ridge intact in the correct place! I can make 7U axles as well! William -----Original Message----- From: news-gateway@lugnet.com [mailto:news-gateway...net.com]On Behalf (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

This is any easy one, the only tool you need is a pair of little electronics type diagonal cutters like Radio Shack sell for about $5 I think - red plastic coated handles made from die cut sheet metal. You can use them to nip the ridge off from (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

Now two parts I *would* pay for A black friction version of the 3/4 dark grey pin. If you attach a half width studless beam/liftarm to a full width beam with two of the dark grey ones it more often than not wobbles too much - I want a nice tight (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

I agree - but then ... Check out my variation of Jennifer's Bobcat at (URL) and if you look closely at "...squeeze.jpg" you'll see that the rear axle on the left protrudes slightly - that's because it really needs to be a 7U one - The same is also (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

Yeah, Roboslizonicles are a great source of supply of "raw" material ;) The part you describe yields a ball with a short length of cross axle attached from the other end when you chop it up as well. With some of these highly specialised parts, I try (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)
