It's similar to the double space on the underside of <a href="http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=42023" rel="nofollow">42023</a> the inverted 1x6 slope.62 Brickshttp://www.flickr.com/photos/62bricks/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-82642991741942135592013-08-20T16:19:24.884+01:002013-08-20T16:19:24.884+01:00Thanks, great spot Sherlock!

The instructions reveal it is element 6031895 and yes you're correct, Brickset don't list it which means LEGO haven't added it to their Replacement Parts database. It is a mystery why some parts don't get added - it's not always just because the element is new.<br /><br />Searching BrickLink (which you might not know, you can do with an element number as well as a 'part number' or 'Design ID') reveals it is part 11295 and also comes in Dark Bluish Grey [BL] / Dark Stone Grey [TLG], in set 60021 Cargo Heliplane.

I've got another idea for a new piece to post about! You can find this piece in the City Coast guard Helicopter 60013 instructions page 33, step 17. It's the orange piece under the 1. This piece is odd because I searched the Brickset database I could not find it in the parts inventory. This suggests that is a new piece, and a particularly interesting piece it is. That's all for now! By guys!

I welcome it to the toolbox!<br /><br />But (scratches head) why did they enlarge the hole that so irritates @pinioncorp?

The stud indent I can live with, but the hole really kills the continuity.
