Default Tabs - looking for another one of these

Looking for a plastic spacer that goes on a trim tab ram that prevents it from going all the way up. I'm not sure what they are called, but it's on my older Sunsation Dominator.

(I would post pics, but the system says I'm to new

Are they bennett trim tabs? That's what my older Dominator has. The clip came with a new replacement upper hinge/ram end.
It appears to be made of PVC pipe...

Should have stated they are 280 K Planes. Similar, but the plastic is much harder than PCV.

When we used to do that we used a piece of Delron and made a spacer and took the ram apart and slid it over the shaft to stop the travel. That way we could make it what ever size we needed to control the travel of the tab. Regards Dan

That would be easier than taking the ram apart to put a spacer on.
