Is there a parts list in the back of your owner's manual?

None of the parts lists for the electric splitters show it that I can find. Probably comes as part of the ram. It doesn't look like it makes much contact with the valley in the beam anyway on mine.

It's just a piece of Teflon/Delrin. Any decent hyraulic/rubber supplier will carry something that will work. I got a piece from AK Rubber and Supply for that same purpose. I would consider that part a wear item.

Thanks for the replys guys.
Nate, I'll check into something like that.

do you guys think I'd still be able to use the splitter without that piece?

BB mine does seem to make contact with the beam.

Dan: yeah, lost the manual go figure

I did for a while and it started to tear up the "bed" of the splitter. I guess it'd probably take a while to wear through the metal though, but the splitter was not mine so I returned it in better condition.

Thanks for the replys guys.

I forget how I attached it back, I want to say there was a screw or two maybe?
