Part No: 40243  Name: Stairs Spiral Step

40243 Stairs Spiral Step
Parts: Stairs

The catalog image for 40243 shows only the top and I don't have one in my
collection to compare it so I don't know if there are any differences at
the bottom. Comparing mine to the catalog photos I can see that 78131 has the
mold pip in a different position in the circle where it connects to the step.
There is also a small indentation in the raised edge of the circle where it connects
to the step. I've attached photos of the top and bottom so that anyone who
has 40243 can check for differences.

Thanks for your photos. Looking at the bottom I see that the supports connecting
the inner and outer circle are a bit thicker in the new one. And I guess I should
also have checked all the parts in my set. I had noticed that Brickset listed
a new mold number for this part, so when I opened my set I immediately opened
bag 2 to see if that's what I got. Now that I got to building bag 2 I noticed
that I also got two of the old 40243 in addition to the six 78131.

Set 60363 has 3338 molded on the part. I did not notice any differences with
the old mold other than the fact that it has a different number.

Maybe a different sprue mark position?

That is correct. The old one has it on the top. The new one has it on the side
near the bottom.
