Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 6059  Name: Knight's Stronghold
* 
6059-1 (Inv) Knight's Stronghold
206 Parts, 5 Minifigures, 1990
Sets: Castle: Black Knights

* Add 2 Part 4085b Blue Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Clip Vertical - Type 2 (thin U clip)
* Delete 2 Part 4085c Blue Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Clip Vertical - Type 3 (thick U clip)
* Add 2 Part 4085c Blue Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Clip Vertical - Type 3 (thick U clip) (Alternate) (match ID 1)

Comments from Submitter:
I have this set, which was stored separately since childhood. All clips are thin-u (4085b), which contradicts the inventory which has black and grey as thin, but the blue as thick (4085c). Further, the instructions show what appear to be thin clips as well. While I don't dispute that some sets may have shipped with thick blue u-clips, I think that most likely this should be considered an alternate, and the matching thin-u should be considered the standard build. Accordingly, I have made changes to add 4085b to regular, delete 4085c from regular, and add 4085c as an alternate.

Hi

We do not have standardize that the same part when appear in set in different
color must have the same mold in regular section of inventory. It happen very
frequently that molds variants for different color can be diffrent in set copy.
Mostly recent sets have variants in inventories the way that first person who
submited inventory had them in set.
Here you have similar situation:
 
Set No: 75172  Name: Y-Wing Starfighter
* 
75172-1 (Inv) Y-Wing Starfighter
659 Parts, 5 Minifigures, 2017
Sets: Star Wars: Star Wars Rogue One
in regular section yellow one 4085 has different variant then DBG.
Later variant of yellow one was added and it is the same variant as DBG but it
stays in alternate section. In copy of set on which inventory was made this part
in different color had different variant.

So I agree to add your checked variant to this set but I will leave it as alternate
to existing one this inventory.

Further, the instructions show what appear to be thin clips as well.

Instruction are not good source to check variants and I do not consider them
as reliable source in this situation.
