Sorry for yet another appeal for help thread, I don't mean to be a bother, but I suppose I might be by now.
Anyway, using the process outlined on this Rolf Osterthun's thread:

I have captured and made DAT files of the parts: The problem is, I'm not sure where to go from here. I am a newbie when it comes to parts authoring (and this is cheating at best!), but I really need these parts in LDraw. Frankly, I could really use all of the parts mentioned in my post:
http://forums.ldraw.org/thread-16413.html
but none, to my knowledge, have been put on the parts tracker. The second pair aren't even in LDD. I know the community is not responsible for part requests, and I completely understand that it is a lot of work, but I still need those pieces, so I have tried to get as far as possible. I think one of the major things that needs to be done is the setting of the part center/rotation center. There may be more work beyond that which I don't even know about. If someone could guide me through the remaining steps, at least to the point where the part is functional, I would be much obliged.
-- I attached the parts if you would like to take a look at them. They are raw geometric data (if I have my vocabulary right) which runs up the file size, compared to official parts.
