| Lengths in “L” and 18654 - SylvainLS (46) | I’m wondering what’s the rationale for having changed the name (and dimensions) of (Part 18654) from “1 L” to “2/3 L”. I can’t see where it’s 0.67L. Especially if I [...]

| Re: inconsistencies - SylvainLS (46) | [...] The database won’t allow it. A part can only be in one category. Because they are “categories,” not “tags.” A tag system was asked for, many times.
