   The design is not LEGO pure. The model requires NBA/Basketball minifig legs (with the springs removed) and a 1x4 technic thin lift arm (I cut the end off a 1x5 technic thin liftarm. You can use 4263 but the studs on the side will bind occasionaly.

I’ve tried lots of things to eliminate the 1x4 technic thin liftarm, but nothing seems to work as well. Any suggestions are welcome.

At a guess, you need the arm to be central in a 1 stud width of axle. A technique used by someone else (Mark Bellis I think) is to get a half smooth technic bush (4265c) and cut it in half (length ways). This will help keep the bar centred.

For some projects I’ve used the old 14 tooth bevel gear for spacing. As far as I know it’s the thinnest TECHNIC piece you can put on an axle.



It’s definitely thinner than 4265c.

<snip> (...) Thanks for suggestion. I didn't consider that part. I tried it, but the larger diameter interfered with other parts. Ben In lugnet.trains, Jordan Bradford wrote: (19 years ago, 30-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
