Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 8558  Name: Cahdok & Gahdok
* 
8558-1 (Inv) Cahdok & Gahdok
630 Parts, 2002
Sets: BIONICLE: Titans

* Add 4 Part 75c29 Pearl Dark Gray Hose, Rigid 3mm D. 29L / 23.2cm (Alternate) (match ID 3)
* Change 4 Part Pearl Dark Gray 75c28 Hose, Rigid 3mm D. 28L / 22.4cm {match ID 0 to 3}

Comments from Submitter:
Assembled used set I dismantled;
Also, many 29L hoses are availlable for sale and some sellers states these are from 8558, and no set contains 29L hose, so it must be a production change from 28L to 29L.

I made the change to 28 based on my measurement from a set, but these things
are very variable and never REALLY set to a stud length. It would probably be
better listed as either number rather than having an alternate, because variation
is a property of the piece.

I understand what you mean, but I got confused with price guide and scarcity
of the part when dismantling the set. Listings for 29L weren't moved, showing
the part as unreleased. Your measuring (from your ICR) is interesting, but do
we have more sources to be sure there is no more variations and it should really
be inventoried as 28L, against the instruction booklet?

Was this set always owned by you from when it was first opened? If so, were the
pieces not mixed with any others?

Thanks,
