[Sorry I'm coming in late on this one]
There are two different elements involved, and they're in at least three
sets, actually:
1x4 Spring Cage, Hinge Connect, 3M
Qty Color Set U.S. Set Name Year Theme
--- ----- ---- ------------------------ ---- --------------
1 Red 6353 Coastal Cutter 1991 Nautica
1 Red 6668 Recycle Truck (European) 1992 Transportation
1 Red 4564 Freight Rail Runner 1995 9v
========
Angled Grasp Element
Qty Color Set U.S. Set Name Year Theme
--- ----- ---- ------------------------ ---- --------------
1 Red 6353 Coastal Cutter 1991 Nautica
1 Red 6668 Recycle Truck (European) 1992 Transportation
1 Red 4564 Freight Rail Runner 1995 9v
No, I didn't name them the best way possible.
Doesn't change the fact that the elements are rare, of course.
