I'm trying to figure out how to attach the new motor assembly and it's
one-way drive train shown in pics 0-4 in this folder to the hopper assembly,
at the point where the old assembly engaged the hopper itself, in pic 10 in
the brickshelf folder above.  Both the new and old motor assemblies have
light bluish grey 13L liftarms in them, and it is a bit of a problem for me
to work out how to make the connection solid and go around a 90 degree bend
in the drive train for this MOC of mine.

Can anyone suggest ways of doing this in studless without too much fiddling
around with a lot of 90 degree angles?

Studless seems to be one-dimensional building, IE you can build quite easily
if all the holes in your beams are aligned the same way, but once you have
to go around a 90 degree bend to match up holes in another direction, it
gets a lot more difficult.

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers ...
