Yes, there is a little piece of tubing that goes in there. Can send a picture later in teh week or week end if that helps. Dave

My wings don't have a spacer in there. They look just like your photo.

I just reassembled my wings and they have a phenolite (sp?) spacer in between the strut fittings that the wire passes through.

Spacer is correct of course , that whole thing helps on negative loads when taxiing same as the little wire at the tip bow between the spars. Sorry I did not answer you directly but have been out for two days..... I still get about 30-40 messages a day.

Mine are just short pieces of tubing, what should they be?

Never seen the wire at the tip bow either, do I really need it?
