Default Shims for rear wing

Hope someone can assist please. Is there a proper name for the little plastic shims that go under the rear wing to stop it rattling?
My children have bmax 2 which uses body clips to hold wing in place, but all three just wobble. I have a set of 2 angled shims which I think came from a team c Jekyll, but can't seem to find the items to buy more. Does anyone know whether these are available as single items or as part of a parts tree (hopefully not) and ideally yoke bmax2 compatible.
At the moment I'm having to use foam stuck on the mounting points and it annoys me 😀

Don't think they have a name. But normally come supplied with the wing mount if they are needed.

I had the same issue with a TC02C in the past, and the clips really annoyed me. I cut off the plastic "pips" that the pins go though, drilled a couple of pilot holes through the wing mounts, and screwed the wing on in the usual way. It worked a treat.

Try some thin O rings under the hole?

The easiest way to get rid of the wobbly wing is to use a mount where the wing is kept in place with screws, not body clips - as luck would have it, ORB Racing offers a wing mount for the B-Max 2 (Mid-motor) that has exactly that feature

Here's a link to some pictures on Dropbox:

Many thanks all.
My sons car is MM while my 2 girls are RM so I may look at drilling out the current clip posts and using M3 screws with the yz2 wing buttons as ORB wing mounts look to be MM only.

YOu can always add another bit of lexan under or over the wing or a couple of bits of electrical tape.

Chris, I used a 2.5mm drill, and the M3 went quite nicely into it.

This is what I am doing at the moment, but it just looks ugly
