Problem with 2792 (incomplete official part?) - Bertrand Lequy - 2024-08-12

Hi, I've a question about 2792.
I had this part as a kid and I remember that there was a "tooth" in the middle of the part, locking 2791a in given position. But on the LDraw part there's nothing.
You can see the "tooth" here (RB picture) :

My question is : did it exist two versions ofthis part, or is the LDraw version false ?

I search on BL and I got the same part with the tooth :

Can't find any evidense of a part without the locking finger. On the contrary, they all describe the locking function.
It is missing.

http://technicopedia.com/1988.html     "This part ratchets inside the lower support to stop at discreet angles."
http://technicopedia.com/8832.html     "This model effectively has tilt steering since the angle of the steering column can be changed."

There even a comment about our part missing more details here:

The bottom needs a complete rework.

This note is the starting point of my question.


@jeff : I don't have acces to the part right now (I'm not sure it's still at my childhouse anyway) a starting point could be to create a draft using 2791a in position, maybe.
