Well, I've tried putting paper into the peg several different ways to try to make it stiffer, but the paper loosens up after awhile... Some joints just don't have room (functionaly or estheticaly) for anything but a simple friction peg, but they (...) (24 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) If you just want a stiffer friction peg, you could try using the old pre-1990 friction pegs. (these came with sets such as 8854, 8855, 8862, 8865, etc) These old pegs did not have the two small slots in the center, making them very tough to (...) (24 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) If you can fit it, use a minifig tool (a thing that fits in the minifigs hand) and stick it in the hole of the friction peg after putting it in place. /Tobbe (URL) (24 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Don't feel bad--a lot of purists aren't comfortable with the incurson of non-LEGO metal into the brick, but others among us think it's pretty darn cool!

Purists will wretch, but I've found that running a #4-40 screw through the center and securing it with 2washers, a lockwasher, & a nut works *VERY* well... Flame me if you must, but it's better than breaking precious LEGO(R) parts : ) "Steve (...) (24 years ago, 19-May-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Never thought it could be translated that way, so I better comment on it then :) It seems like a good way to stiffen the pegs up and I might give it a go if I ever need it. Thanks. /Tobbe (URL) (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Well, I've sometimes used the flexible "tubing" that's used as sheathing for the flex system stuff - shove it through the hole in the pin (it's a snug fit) and (purists & non-modification pundits beware) cut off the extra so it doesn't stick (...) (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.technic)
