Can anybody help me please?
I'm trying to connect each of the five corners of a pentagon to the centre using Technic, but resulting in an axle hole in the centre. - Is there a piece I could use to do this?

Like so.
I'll be using it in a MOC of mine, coming soon (hopefully).

Mmm, five is a hard number for TECHNIC. Does the center connection need to be symmetrical, and how small does it need to be?

[SlyOwl]

It just needs to have an axle hole in the very centre (+ or o). That's all.

I guess it has to be a one-layer-solution? Meaning not two bricks like

over each other.

Difficult.  :-/
Try peeron.com and type "technic connector" in the search field. Does any of that pieces help?

Well I really wanted a one-layer solution and this part

could have helped, but it would have meant a 2.5 height, so it won't really work. The trouble is, I was using a pentagon-based pyramid, and so each different layer would have to be a different distance form the corners...
I think I might turn to a hexagon, but it will ruin my colour scheme (limited parts  |-/ ) and will look slightly stranger...
Ah well.
Thanks anyway.  :-)
