Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 10290  Name: Pickup Truck
* 
10290-1 (Inv) Pickup Truck
1677 Parts, 2021
Sets: Creator: Creator Expert: Traffic

* Add 2 Part 2739a Black Technic, Link 1 x 6 without Stoppers (Alternate) (match ID 1)

Comments from Submitter:
I would like to add 1x6 without stoppers as an alternate for this set. I have 3 copies of the set and they all have 2739a. To be honest, i believe that the original entry is a mistake as they haven't produced 2739b for 10 years so i wouldn't think they would just bring it back for this set. Cheers.

Good catch! I somehow missed that when checking the inventory.

That's twice now this part has fooled me! We need some better images and
descriptors of what the 'Stoppers' actually are. 2739a says is has no
stoppers but it does have some kind of ridges. They are visible on the inside
of the images but the other image appears to be smooth. 2739b appears to have
some kind of ridges on the edges.

So, both parts may or may not have some kind of ridges and one of them are called
stoppers...

Help!

It's easy.

For
 
Part No: 2739a  Name: Technic, Link 1 x 6 without Stoppers
* 
2739a Technic, Link 1 x 6 without Stoppers
Parts: Technic, Link
you can push the tow ball into either end from _both_ sides of the rings.

For
 
Part No: 2739b  Name: Technic, Link 1 x 6 with Stoppers
* 
2739b Technic, Link 1 x 6 with Stoppers
Parts: Technic, Link
you can only push the tow ball into either end from _one_ side of the rings.

The ridges inside the rings of each part are just to hold the tow ball.

Cheers,
Randy

Thanks for the explanation and for the helpful updated images as well!

Hopefully, I will get it right next time.
