| | | (...) Well that new "link"... (URL) looks like its now the size of standard "bar" items... like these... (URL) Can anyone confirm or deny that? If so, I could see that part being used for much more, in many other builds, aside from just something (...) (18 years ago, 6-Dec-06, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
