Hi -
While cleaning my wing a few days ago, I had it fully inflated and heard something rattling inside it. I deflated the wing and located the object which felt flat and soft(ish). I unscrewed the OPV and gently nudged the object towards it and pulled it out from there. It was a rubber spacer with the following approx measurements - OD 45mm, ID 26mm, thickness 3mm. It also has a groove on the outer edge which looks like it fits in a way that it sandwiches a small internal flange(??). I've attached some photos - the one that has the OPV is just to give an idea of the size.
The wing seems to function fine without it - no leaks, inflation (manual and power) and OPV work fine. This is an LCD30 wing.
Thoughts? I can take it to my LDS (who are DSS dealers) or mail it back to Tobin but am wondering if it's something that can be easily identified and re-installed.
Thanks in advance,
elgoog
