Plate 1 x 5 (78329)

Solve Geometry Problems with the Plate 1 x 5

The Plate 1 x 5 (78329) is a relatively modern addition to the LEGO® System that answers the prayers of builders everywhere. For decades, fans had to combine a 1x2 and 1x3 to achieve this length, but this single solid piece offers superior strength and a cleaner finish. It is the perfect solution for bridging 5-stud gaps without creating weak seams in your walls or floors.

The Power of Odd Numbers

Odd-numbered plates are essential for advanced building techniques, specifically for centering. Because this plate has a distinct middle stud, it allows you to mount steering wheels, seats, or decorative elements exactly in the center of a symmetrical build. This capability is crucial for constructing detailed interiors in LEGO® City vehicles or architectural models.

Speed and Stability

This part has become a favorite in the Speed Champions theme, where odd-width construction is often used to achieve realistic proportions. It provides a rigid backbone for chassis and wings that multi-part assemblies cannot match. Whether you are offsetting a wall or smoothing out a surface, this plate is a versatile tool for any custom project.
