One way might be to use the light gray half-pins (ldraw part 4274.dat). Put
them in the endmost holes of the "sideways" beam. The short protruding sections
can then act as top studs, and the two beams can be connected as you describe
with a 1-wide plate. I built it using three half pins and a 1x8 plate to
connect the beams with a 0.5L space between the beam ends. For more rigidity,
you could use half-pins in the ends of each beam and make the connection on two
sides.

| Hey Technic Fans, How would you connect two beams together, end to end, with one rotated 90 degrees? (URL) only solutions I can think of at the moment are big, bulky, and not feasible. I'm looking for a simple connection that will fix the two beams (...) (23 years ago, 29-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic)
