Title: Joining system x and older type forts.

I forgot to reply to Panos' comment in my 'Kirkbean Exhibition 2010' thread but thought it might be more appropriate here:

Absolutely amazing Elaine!!!!  :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
I really loved the way you mixed the system x fort with the older type one!!!

I did have a complete 3023 Fort Eagle, (apart from one small piece on the lookout tower) which was I thought altogether in a plastic box and foolishly I didn't build it up before we went to the hall.  I had also got a number of spare walls from an old fort so just put them in the box.
When Sandy came to build the fort for me from the instructions I gave him, he found some connecting walls missing. 
Luckily Junior had some spare parts from his 3079 space station - 30 21 3380.

and we found that these would connect with the system x and clip onto the old pieces. I don't know if these have been used for this before.  I know there is a part to connect steck and the old fort pieces but have never seen one to combine these two.
We didn't need to build a big fort due to lack of space so we had enough of these pieces and this option worked well!  It was very much a 'made up at the last minute' sort of fort!!  :lol:

In Germany some guys already, combine all three types. With the part you show. It is more or less a matter of taste. Because there is a little bit more distance when you use that. ;)

Elaine this was brilliant :clap:  :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:!!!!
So you just placed the round side of this small connector in the system-x hole and the hook-like side on the old wooden western fort walls  :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:!!!!
Congratulations once again to you and Junior for this clever idea!!!!
