2m lever with two circular holes?

[Vee]

A probably dumb question but regarding Technic parts I see that there are "levers" and "beams", the levers being only half the depth of the beams. There is a 2M beam with two circular holes in it and there is a 2M lever with two cross holes in it. My question is why there is NOT a 2M lever with two circular holes in it?

I don't know why there are no such parts, but in case you need this 'lever' to work as lever, parts with cross holes can rotate around 'bars', like 61184 or 30374 and bushes like 3713 / 4265c sit firmly on that bars to fix 'levers'.

Why would there be? It's not like you could use a part like that as anything but a spacer, and i've never had a need for something like that.

Then I am doing something wrong because I need it!

Vee what are you trying to achieve in the design posted?

I have a whole thread already discussing what I am trying to do (mostly with one other person...) but ultimately I am trying to add a light brick to an Ole Kirk's House. The tan bricks you see in the LXF file stand for the light brick. I believe what I have is ok but I don't understand why there is a thin 2M liftarm (lever) with two crosses and no thin 2M liftarm with two circular holes. There is only the thick 2M liftarm (beam) with two circular holes, makes no sense to me but since I am a rookie regarding Technic, I figured that I may be going the wrong route.
