Where the column enters the braces, a section is colored a dark green and is labeled Part 8002 (post breaking area). The braces themselves are labeled part 8004 (braces).

This diagram shows a long rectangular column, standing on end, either side of it encased with two wide braces, colored brown. Protruding from between the column and left-side brace is an extremely narrow rectangular piece. This piece is colored brown and is labeled Part 8008 (neoprene). The column is still mainly colored a dark red. Within the blue section near the top, an eye-hook protrudes from the left-hand side. This is also colored blue and is labeled Part 8003 (loading bolt). At the bottom of the structure, between the column and the left side brace, is a narrow rectangular piece colored purple. This is labeled Part 8006 (steel shim – between brace and post).
