Ok... I have a question that may just show my ignorance... but I’ll ask
anyways.
I have a need to strongly connect two technic beams (one on top of each
other). Simply attaching them on top of each other (with Lego studs) is not
strong enough for my use. I am assuming that I need to somehow brace them
through the side holes but can not figure out how.
I need there to be just the two technic beams and can not space them with
Lego plates so I can not seem to strengthen them with liftarms as they
don’t fit nicely with just 2 beams. (ok... at least I don’t know how to
make them fit).
Any of that make sense?
Any help would greatly appreciated.

put the two
one on top of the other.
On the middle of the top one put one  , on it one  and on it one .
The hole in the top can now be braced to the bottom beam with a  .
You can also put one of the below the beams, if it’s better for your application.
It’s bulky, but if that doesn’t bother you it’ll work.
HTH,

If you have no plates, put four bricks on top of each other between the beams
and use a 7L liftarm rather than the 5L one pictured above.

Thanks for the ideas... however I am constrained to a height of 2 beams.
This height restriction is what is causing me grief as I can not space the
beams or add above/below to use the liftarms.

Use the hole in the middle of the large end of the cam as well as the hole at the small end. You probably need (...) (19 years ago, 5-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

| (...) How many studs of overlap can you have? Also, how much space can you have on the sides? A tacky way to solve the problem would be to run a string through the holes in a spiral type fasion and then tie the ends together. Hey; no one can say it (...)
