| Hi !
Again, i'm facing a problem while retro-engineering a model.
I don't understand how the creator of the model manage to put a ball+axle
in the space beween the mudguard and the ball socket underneath !?
It seems impossible because there is apparently 2 Brackets and a Tile there,
and it's leaves not much room to fit anything else !
Unless the Tile is a 2x2 modified with pin (2460) with a ball somehow attached
to it ?
(But i don't think it's possible)
Any ideas ?

Do those balls work with the socket bricks? I would think they would be too small.
If it is possible though, it would probably be very fragile.

Yes, they work with socket bricks, and as you say, the whole thing will be fragile
... But i don't think i have any choice here since i can't think of anything
else

Yes ! I've just tried it and it works, although i'm afraid that it's
a little weak to be able to hold the whole thing together, but i don't believe
there are many other solutions anyway
Thanks for your help !

I don't think it's possible either - usually these ball joints are attached
by axles. Maybe something like this, cut down, would be sturdier than just a
jumper tile?

Yeah it's an idea ... I guess i will try the 2 options to see what is the
sturdiest, and in the worst case, if i go all the way to cut a piece, i guess
i could also glue the ball to the jumper tile (even if i'm not fond of the
idea of using glue)
But at the end, the model is just for display so hopefully i won't be forced
to go to this extreme
