Sorry. i meant to say that the R2-D2 piece Fredrik originally meant
was not *90* degrees, but about 45 degrees.

It's not 45° or even 135° (as you probably meant).  Rather, it has the
same angle as the original one bend beam (6629), that is 143.13°.  This
is according to Huw Millington, who has the part in questions himself.

It's not the liftarm but a one-bend beam, shorter version than
before.

In LDraw, we call these parts "liftarms".  Anyway, the new part is not
shorter than before, it has indeed the same total length and the same
number of holes as the old one.  But the bend is one hole closer to the
shorted end.  This is also according to Huw Millington.

All i wanted to say is that the above 32140.gif is not the part
Fredrik meant (as i understood him) and indeed the other part is new
this year.

If you had read the post you followed up on, it would have been clear to
you that we were now discussing the new, shorter bent beam which
appeared in the connectable sets earlier this year.
