| I have two different versions of
* | | 650 Hinge Coupling Nylon - Two Connected 2 x 2 Plates
Parts: Hinge |
. One is 7L, the other is 10L. Does anyone
know anything about this? BL has only one type in the catalog.

Is it possible that they are both 7L and one has been stretched?

It is possible. The ends are warped and do look like it has been melted to some
degree. But wouldn't the string be much thinner? It isn't.

| Upon closer inspection and comparison, the string actually seems thinner and
more transparent. So I guess this part was stretched, most likely by heating.
Case closed.

I remember doing just that to some of these in the late 1970s over a spirit burner
(before my dad got a heat gun!) You could also shorten or repair them by heating
the tether then overlapping it with itself and rolling it to create a lump in
the middle or melting the ends of the broken parts and overlapping them. They
would also blacken and burn though if not careful.

Sure looks like someone chewed on the longer one. I bet on a scale they both
have the same weight.

Actually, they don't. I have weighed two of the small ones, and they weigh
approx. 0,90 grams. The lengthy one weighs ~0,04 grams more.

Could it be two broken ones "welded" together somehow? It's certainly
possible that it's an anomoly from the Lego factory), but a new version/variant?
Could be a part used by Lego in their parks etc and not necessarily from a set.
Dunno. Nice find whatever the case.

I have confirmed that the weight suggestion was not the best. I just weighed
9 of these (all unmolested) and they weigh between .85G to 1.08G.
