Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 8299  Name: Search Sub
* 
8299-1 (Inv) Search Sub
373 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1 Gear, 1997
Sets: Technic: Model: Harbor

* Add 1 Part 3647 Light Gray Technic, Gear 8 Tooth
* Change {2 to 1} Part Light Gray 3647 Technic, Gear 8 Tooth (Extra)

Comments from Submitter:
The parts list (via Brickset.com) from LEGO replacement parts website says one 8 tooth gear should be regular.
But why?



Because it is used in an alternate model from the CD-ROM.

Awesome, Jonas! I could not figure out why that part was included!

Besides Jonathan's set, I had found many images of other sealed sets showing
the gears included in the set, so I knew they had to be used for something. Nice
detective work!

Cheers,
Randy
