SID SL Brain fork - what’s fallen off?

I need the hive mind! It took me a good while, but I’ve managed to chase down a persistent rattle from the front end of my Epic - the rattle comes from the exposed end of whatever protrudes from the bottom of the fork leg! I think I’ve lost the  rebound adjuster, but not sure - I don’t remember what it looked like before! What’s the verdict and where to get what I’ve lost?

the rebound knob is missing. you'll need to get one from specialized as it's a brain damper, not a rockshox one and they're quite different.

I think in this case the rebound knob should attach via a grub screw that butts against the flat spot on the sticky out bit in the threaded part. it may be that there is a bit of in and out movement in that bit and with the knob attached it will restrict any movement and stop the rattle. or it may not...

But contact with specialized should be the first port of call.

Awesome thank you - that’s the sort of knowledge I was hoping for!
