Hi,

How to add an Alternate part to a Part Inventory?

The help text speaks about a Match ID which has to be filled in, but the form
does not have such a field at all.

I would like to add a Black Pivot to the inventory of 3149c01 as alternate for
the Red one.

Looks as if it is not possible to add Alternates?

Parts assemblies can't have alternate parts in their inventories, only sets
can. So if you want to add to this part assembly with black povot you must add
completly new parts assembly to the catalog - 3149c02

Alternates are not possible for parts and minifigures.

To do this correctly we need a new part entry, one that has a black pin. I rejected
an entry for one last year because the change to black pin seemed to be very
late and didn't look significant so I just added a note. But if it is important
to you to have black shown as a known color, then submit an entry and I'll
get it approved.

It seems not that important, only because of the Pivot. There aren't much
of these hinges with Black Pivot and I have no knowledge in which sets they occured
so it wouldn't add significant information.

The first of these hinges however had no hole in the plates, and black pivot.
Two differences thus. This might be interesting enough for a new entry. I'll
issue a request for this hinge.

Also. Changing the Note on 3149c01 would be appreciated though. It is wrong.
See my other message earlier.

I have three variations of these hinges. They all a hole, but the first two variations
have a smaller hole between the two studs on the first row. See my photo attached.

Do you have another variation coming with a black pivot but without that hole?

Today I have issued an add item request for this hinge without hole, as 3149ac01.
If it is accepted I will add an inventory too, with black pivot. The later version,
3149c01, has a hole in the plates to accommodate a string for crane sets. The
first being 337-2 from 1969.
