What is currently on the PT?

Hooks: x507 and x508
Plates: 737 and 509 for the hooks, 753 for magnets

x507
This is actually a part that consists of two parts, the bottom plate and the hook-element
Furthermore there are two versions of it, the earlier one where the hook is connected in the middle with a small round element and the latter part which has a rectangular interconnection with the botom plate.

For compatibility I would propose:
- add the two versions x507a and x507b
- make x507 a "move to" to x507a

so far so good, what number to assign to the bottom plate?

x508
This part is one mold, IĀ  can simply use the existing file on the PT and amend it.
We are out of 3-digit part numbers so we now use uNNN or uNNNN. Where there is some resemblance to a Peeron xNNN number it is acceptable to use a matching uNNN number rather than something from the u9NNN series. So please use u886 for the plate (or u886a/u886b if there are two versions) - see http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/x886 .

Note that on release xNNN numbers will lose the 'x', but uNNN number retain the 'u'.
