LEGO® modified plates: clips and jumpers ⁽¹⁸⁾

What makes a plate a modified plate?

A modified plate differs from a regular plate because of an additional feature in its shape. This could be a clip, a stud in a different position, or a holder for a moving part. The modification determines what you can attach to the plate.

As a result, the collection covers more than one building technique. Alongside small clips, you can find, for example, plates with rotor holders and grille openings. First decide which problem you want to solve: holding an object, shifting a part, or creating a connection in a different direction.

Jumpers and clips for precise connections

A jumper such as 3794a has one central stud on its 1x2 base. This allows you to shift a part by half a stud relative to the regular stud layout. That helps with details that need to sit directly above the middle of an edge or between two positions.

With a clip plate, the direction of the clip is at least as important as its dimensions. Parts 4085d and 61252, for example, have different gripping directions. Compare the photo and description before attaching a bar or accessory; a differently positioned clip also changes the position of the attached part.

Compare special shapes carefully

Part 99206 has studs on the side, providing a different attachment direction. Grille plates 4151a and 4151b differ specifically in the opening in the middle. Details like these show why the same size does not guarantee the same application.

Don't need an additional connection? Then regular LEGO® plates are a more logical starting point. For a specific replacement, use the full part number and check the colour, condition, and dimensions on the product page. This way, you can choose the function your model needs. een logischer vertrekpunt. Gebruik voor een specifieke vervanging het volledige onderdeelnummer en controleer kleur, staat en afmetingen op de productpagina. Zo kies je de functie die je model nodig heeft.
